Yes. As it stands, this WILL NOT WORK. The latest Appium was released before Node 10 was released. We are working on getting it working.

@PaulysGitHub , Do this in order to restore old node version. Even I faced the same issue, downgrade node version by

Uninstall node brew uninstall node
Install node lower version of node brew install node@8
Do force link to node 8 brew link --overwrite node@8 --force

It will work.

Other than you can nvm to restore old version, and ensure that you need to reinstall appium.
