Q&A with the Appium Committers [Panel]

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

A live Q&A lays out concrete history and maintenance details: first Appium commit Jan 2013 and roughly ~100 GitHub repos under active maintenance, drivers for Android (UIAutomator), iOS (WDA/XCUITest) and multiple plugins power real work, Appium Inspector is rebuilt on React/Electron and is actively maintained, contributors report bug counts falling as focused fixes land, and the recommended ways to get help are Appium forums and the issue tracker rather than DMing maintainers.
