Appium Tutorial: Mobile Automation Basics Part 2 - Hello World

This is the second video in my Appium Automation series. We are going to take it one step at a time, starting with the basics and work our way up to building a framework to test Facebook app.

In this video I show you how to write your first Appium automation script. I cover how to set desired capabilities, how to create Android Driver, how to import dependencies via Gradle build file and maven repository, and even a little bit of debugging :). We also touched up on uiautomatorviewer, but we are going to cover this more in depth in the next video!

Thanks ton, Done successfully, I have created Maven instead of Gradle, Why it is not running in Gradle?

Артур, спасибо за видео. Все получается. Подскажи плиз, как ты вывел на экран свой девайс и второй вопрос: приложение unlock apk. Зачем оно нужно? Зачем его прописывать? Спасибо

Hey, great video. This is the first of many I'll be watching this week. Since you're the expert, I was wondering if appium can be used as a web scrapper? I wanted to make web scrapper on my phone. Similar to selenium webdriver.Thanks
