Basic configuration for using WebdriverIO along wtih Cucumber and Appium

I'm using Nodejs 12.16.1 both locally and on the AWS Device Farm.
Same thing goes to the Appium version. Both locally and on AWS, the version I'm using is 1.17.1
Regarding webdriverio, and as shown at this gist below, I'm using "webdriverio": "^6.1.7". This is installed on AWS Device Farm at the install phase by running npm install.
webdriverio shared configs

exports.config = {

    reporters: ['spec'],
    mochaOpts: {
        ui: 'bdd',
        timeout: 60000
    },
    // If you are using Cucumber you need to specify the location of your step definitions.
    // See also: https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/tree/master/packages/wdio-cucumber-framework#cucumberopts-options
    cucumberOpts: {
        require: [
            './steps/**/*.js',
        ],        // <string[]> (file/dir) require files before executing features

        format: ['pretty'], // <string[]> (type[:path]) specify the output format, optionally supply PATH to redirect formatter output (repeatable)
        snippets: true,     // <boolean> hide step definition snippets for pending steps
        source: true,       // <boolean> hide source uris
        profile: [],        // <string[]> (name) specify the profile to use
        strict: false,      // <boolean> fail if there are any undefined or pending steps
        tags: [],           // <string[]> (expression) only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression
        timeout: 60000,     // <number> timeout for step definitions
        ignoreUndefinedDefinitions: false, // <boolean> Enable this config to treat undefined definitions as warnings.
    },
  };

config capabilities for AWS

const { config } = require('./wdio.shared.conf');

config.capabilities = [{
  maxInstances: 1,
}];

exports.config = config;
