The Appium Ruby bindings (appium_lib) v5.0.0 have been released to RubyGems. The Appium Ruby Console (appium_console) v1.0.3 has been released to work with v5 of the bindings.
The major feature of this release is that the iOS helper methods no longer rely on XPath. The helpers use a custom JSON search for improved speed and reliability.
If you’re interested in what the future holds for appium, make sure to watch the webinar. The biggest benefit to the Ruby bindings will be a proper Continous Integration setup.
If you find problems in appium, make sure to report them on GitHub so they get resolved.
