Is there any documentation or sample project available for android and iOS native application automation testing using webdriverio tool?

Question

I am using webdriverio automation tool for web application automation. And recently, I am looking forward to automation the native Android and iOS mobile application as well. When I search details on https://webdriver.io/, I do read about the availability of mobile automation support but it does not provide any details on how to configure and achieve it. Can someone please give me relevant information that will help me automation the native applications using webdriverio tool.

Answer 1

I'm stumbled into the same question, and somehow using the appium-boilerplate confused me. So I create my own GitHub repository for this specific matter. You can check my Medium's article here for references if you still haven't find the answer for this question.

This is only a very simple sample for the Android Test Automation using WebdriverIO. You can change the apps and the code by yourself after you grasp the concept.

And this is for the iOS one : https://medium.com/@zorozeri/test-automation-on-ios-apps-using-webdriverio-with-allure-report-b3ed46d3c0a8
