| While exploring Appium, on the Javascript side, two client libraries are available - `WD.js` and `webdriverio` `WD.js` despite the positives, such as, ability to write code in multiple ways and large number of locator strategies, unfortunately it has a problem when trying to target the browser elements when switching from native app to a browser. This rules it out as our use case requirs this functionality. Even attempting to switch context from native to webview has problems, as all chromedriver sessions are killed, and the test timeouts. `webdriverio` does not have problems like WD.js, and working POC tests were created using this client. On the downside, only two locator strategies are available (`xpath`, and `accesibility id`) which enforces a limit to selecting elements |
