Appium Clients

You need a client to write and run Appium scripts. You'll want to become very familiar with your client documentation (as well as the documentation of any Selenium client that the Appium client depends on) since that will be your primary interface to Appium.

To learn more about clients, check out the Client Intro.

Note

If you maintain an Appium client that you would like to be listed here, feel free to create a PR!

Official Clients

These clients are currently maintained by the Appium team:

Java Client

Language: Java

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
  <version>${version.you.require}</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

dependencies {
  testImplementation 'io.appium:java-client:${version.you.require}'
}

Python Client

Language: Python

Install From PyPi
pip install Appium-Python-Client

Ruby Core Client

Language: Ruby

Install From RubyGems
gem install appium_lib_core

Ruby Client

Language: Ruby

This client is a wrapper for the Ruby Core Client with several helper methods, though this may add additional complexity, therefore the Ruby Core Client is recommended instead.

Install From RubyGems
gem install appium_lib

.NET Client

Language: C#

Install Using .NET CLI
dotnet add package Appium.WebDriver

Other Clients

These clients are not maintained by the Appium team and can be used with other languages.

In general, any W3C WebDriver spec-compatible client will also integrate well with Appium, though some Appium-specific commands may not be implemented in other clients.
