Important:The Robot JavaScript SDK is provided out-of-the box for Studio v2020.4 and greater. For Studio v2019.10 LTS a stand-alone Add-On installer is also available.
If you upgrade from v2019.10 to v2020.2 and later, you need to manually uninstall the UiPath® Robot JS Add-on before running the Studio and Robot installer.
When the UiPath® Robot JavaScript Add-On is run, you need to provide access to your custom application or web page to connect to the Robot.
