Does appium supports ipv6 network?

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Hello! How can I launch appium on ipv6-network? I’m running like this:

./node_modules/.bin/appium -p 4444

And I see appium only for tcp4, how to run it for tcp6?

netstat -anvp tcp | grep LISTEN  
tcp4       0      0  *.4444                 *.*                    LISTEN      131072 131072  21279      0 0x0100 0x00000106
tcp46      0      0  *.9100                 *.*                    LISTEN      131072 131072  15854      0 0x0100 0x00000006

You can see the available arguments with -h argument. For ipv6, appium -a ::1 can start as ::1. Then, like curl -g -6 'http://[::1]:4723/wd/hub/status command works to the instance.

xcuitest driver 4.1.0 (available via appium 2) can open ipv6 local host as https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/pull/1384 ✅
