Appium Client

You can use any Appium Client test in any language to run tests using Continuous Testing Cloud Grid.

Continuous Testing Cloud supports version 4.1 and higher of the Java Appium Client.

info

Appium Grid doesn't work with Java Appium client 8+ (or similar clients which use only W3C). If you need to run Appium Grid, use a previous version of the Appium client.

W3C is supported only with Appium Open Source Execution .
