Hi @jlipps

I was just watching your conference: Jonathan Lipps “Appium: Mobile Automation Made Awesome” and at some point you mention you wanted to implement image recognition. In your words “find an area by image”.

Is there any news on this field?

Thanks,  
Telmo Cardoso

and… I just found my answer:

```
adding to 2.0 since this would be pretty awesome but it's not going to happen anytime soon

```

From [https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/943](https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/943)

Thx 😄

appium supports capturing screenshots so you can do the analysis client side. Also [http://applitools.com/](http://applitools.com/) works with appium.
