Hey Akash,
Thanks for asking this question.

pCloudy rolled out support for Appium 2.0. This seems like a significant leap given the enhancements Appium 2.0 brings, especially with its independent driver and plugin ecosystem.
(https://www.pcloudy.com/docs/appium-2-0-support)

Overview:

pCloudy’s support for Appium 2.0 aims to leverage the new features of the Appium framework, especially focusing on the independent driver and plugin ecosystem. They’ve also streamlined certain functionalities by removing old and deprecated ones.

Supported Versions on pCloudy

  • Android: 6.0 and above
  • iOS: 14 and above

Limitations:

For those venturing into this, make sure you’re using the Java client version 8.0 or above.

Getting Started with Appium 2.0 on pCloudy:

  1. W3C Standard: Ensure that the Appium capabilities in your tests align with the W3C standard. This might require some script edits, or you can lean on the updated Appium clients that are W3C compliant.
  2. Appium 2.0.0 Capabilities: There are three types of capabilities to be aware of:
  • Standard W3C capabilities (like platformName, browserName)
  • Appium vendor capabilities (prefixed with appium: or wrapped in the appium:options object)
  • pCloudy capabilities (written as pCloudy:options object)

I’m curious about the experiences of those who’ve tried this integration. How smooth is the transition to Appium 2.0 on pCloudy? Any challenges or tips to share?

Looking forward to hearing your insights!
