Groovy Mobile Automation
summary
Concrete recipe to run one functional test across iOS and Android: use Groovy + Spock tests, the Appium Java client and Gradle to drive Appium’s JSON‑wire protocol to iOS simulator and Genymotion Android emulator, with traits for shared helpers and Spock’s @Unroll for data tables. Demo runs ~10–12 scenarios in ~2 minutes on iOS (~3.5 min on Android), supports changing locale on simulators, installs the same IPA/APK used for release, and is CI‑friendly; demos mostly succeed with occasional environment hiccups, code and slides published to GitHub.
