I changed my config file and seems that now it seems to be configured to Browserstack

exports.config = {
output: "./output",
helpers: {
REST: {
endpoint: "URL",
defaultHeaders: {
appId: "APP-ID"
}
},
Appium: {
desiredCapabilities: {
platformName: "iOS",
deviceName: "iPhone 8 Plus",
platformVersion: "11.0",
browserName: 'iPhone',
realMobile: true
},
browser: "chrome",
device: "iPhone 8 Plus",
os_version: "11.0",
host: "hub-cloud.browserstack.com",
port: 4444,
user: 'USER',
key: 'KEY',
automationName: "Appium",
baseUrl: 'URL',
waitForTimeout: 60000
}
},

include: {
    I: "./steps/custom_steps.js",
 ...
},
tests: "./tests/*/*_test.js",
timeout: 10000,
name: "ui"

}

But now I wonder is it possible to paralyze mobile tests? And if yes- how to do that?

I had same error for ie11 and i fixed with;

      'user' : '[USERNAME]',
      'key' : '[KEY]',
      'url': 'https://www.mybestsite.com',
      'browser': 'Edge',
      'protocol': 'http',
      'host': 'hub-cloud.browserstack.com',
      capabilities: {
        'browserName' : 'Edge',
        'os' : 'Windows',
        'os_version' : '10',
        'browser_version' : '18.0',
        'resolution' : '1366x768',
        'browserstack.local' : false,
        'browserstack.selenium_version' : '3.5.2',
        'browserstack.user' : '[USERNAME]',
        'browserstack.key' : '[KEY]'
      }
