Q&A with the Appium Committers [Panel]
summary
Panelists explain that Appium 2.0 is already usable but still needs documentation; a large PR converts many repos into a monorepo to simplify dependency and driver management; a plugin system and client-side plugin support landed for Java/Ruby/Python so drivers can ship first-class commands instead of relying on mobile: scroll via executeScript; Java/.NET clients face breaking changes tied to Selenium 4 and long‑standing hacky Java client code; iOS deep links work reliably only on simulators or via Safari workarounds; official plugin listing will host vetted third‑party plugins.
