Thank you, @wreed. Is it possible to use BDD Cucumber Java framework for flutter app automation? Do the following accessibility work with the same framework?  
Example: ID, Accessibility ID, Name, Xpath , iOSPredicate , iOSClassChain etc

Unfortunately I have not automated a flutter app so I’m not sure about the differences and what elements are available. However, anything that can be tested can be tested with a BDD Cucumber Java framework. You will just have to write the step definitions to use the flutter driver.

Yes you can use BDD cucmber for flutter apps. but the elements are not identified with resource ID or accessibility ID, they are identified by tooltips, type, ValueKey and so on.

Can you share something related to inspecting flutter elements properly by using tooltips, type, ValueKey, and so on?

Appium inspector only supports native apps , is there something planned for support for the flutter driver in the future?
