Hello,
we are happy to announce that Appium 3 beta is now available via NPM along with two main drivers: xcuitest and uiautomator2.
Changelist
Please check the migration document for more details about what important changes have been made in this major release.
Installation
If you have Appium 2 already installed then it would be a good idea to delete it first to avoid possible conflicts:
appium setup reset
npm uninstall -g appium
Use the following commands to install new betas:
npm install -g appium@beta
appium driver install xcuitest@beta
appium driver install uiautomator2@beta
Other drivers have not been checked/updated for compatibility yet.
Feedback
We appreciate your feedback regarding the new release. Please use the project issues tracker on Github if you face any new issues/bugs, so we could nicely polish Appium 3 before making it ready for a public release. You may also use this forum to ask any questions or to raise suggestions.
