  • How to get XPath in accessibility inspector?.

Unfortunately this is impossible. Apple’s inspector does not know anything about xml

  • How to create a dynamic XPath?

I usually test my xpath by executing a test script in debug mode and requesting page source from the driver for the particular screen states. It would be nice to have a support for it in Appium Inspector. It is apparently doable, just needs someone with React development skills to take care of it.

  • Can I use AppiumForMac XPath for mac App automation with mac2Driver?

No, these are two different drivers
