XPATH 2.0 support for case insensitive text attribute matching

Support
1

Appium v1.8.1

We have run into an issue where we need XPATH to be case insensitive.
The text for TEXTVIEW comes up as camel case in Android 6 and ALL CAPS in Android 7,8.
eg: On the Android UI we have text “AIRPORT”. On Android 6, the text attribute for this TextView comes up as “Airport” on uiautomater and on Android 7 and 8, the text attribute for this TextView comes up as “AIRPORT”.
Is there a solution for this?

Note: XPATH 2.0 has functions that can help with case-insensitive matching but appium doesn’t support it currently

Check what api level you are on and change the xpath accordingly.

xpath 2.0 won’t be supported by Appium unless there is a proper open source library which supports it
