Native Apps with Appium on Real Devices

Appium is an open source, cross-platform, test automation framework for native, hybrid and mobile web apps on iOS and Android. It uses the WebDriver JSON protocol (https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) to standardize the automation API across the two platforms and three types of apps.

Documentation on how to use Appium on real devices is scarce. Meetup Co-Organizer An Doan figured it out recently and thought it would be a good idea to share what he learned. Boiled down to a few quick slides and a live demo on a real device.
