Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to set up Genymotion emulators and how to configure them. We learned how to alter the desired capabilities to run the test on emulators. We learned how to set up Android devices for development and testing by turning on the developer options. We also learned how to turn on USB debugging and run the test on an Android device by passing the udid. We explored different libraries to install (via Homebrew) for running the Appium test on an actual iOS device. We also discussed how to get the UDID of iOS devices. We went through the steps to start ios-webkit-debug-proxy and the desired capabilities to use for an iOS test. In the next chapter, we will learn how to run the Appium test via the continuous integration tool, Jenkins. We will go through the detailed process of setting up Jenkins and running the test.
