{
  ... // Other config

  services: ['appium'],

  appium: {
    args: {
      address: '127.0.0.1',
      commandTimeout: '7200',
      sessionOverride: true,
      debugLogSpacing: true,
      platformVersion: '9.1',
      platformName: 'iOS',
      showIosLog: true,
      deviceName: 'iPhone 6',
      nativeInstrumentsLib: true,
      isolateSimDevice: true,
      app: APP_PATH
    }
  }
}

For args, you can specify keys in lowerCamel. Its values are interpreted as its value. If value is boolean, true means specifying the key and false means not specifying.

For example, platformVersion: '9.1' will be converted to --platform-version=9.1, sessionOverride: true will be --session-override, showIosLog: false will specify nothing.
