Mobile Automation basics - Appium Installation
Appium is an 'HTTP Server' written using Node.js platform and drives iOS and Android session using Webdriver JSON wire protocol.
Installation Process:
-Install node.js + Android SDK + Java JDK + Appium [Quick tip : Install using Chockolaty (it's effortless!)]
-Create/Set/Verify following Environment variables:
ANDROID_HOME > Android SDK path [C:\....\sdk\tools]
JAVA_HOME > JDK folder
Set PATH to Apache Ant and Apache Maven installation bin folder.
-To create an emulator, start the Android SDK Tools > SDK Manager, select required version of android and install. To create and launch an emulator go to Android SDK Manager > AVD manager and create.
<Or> Simply attach any Android device to your system in debug mode. Verify connectivity by 'adb devices' command.
Note that to test iOS you can install VMware on windows 7 , then install Mac OX on VM and use it for your appium testing for IOS devices. Because there is no Xcode available for windows 7 and without xcode you can't use appium for IOS.
