#appium-dotnet-driver

This driver is an extension of the Selenium C# client. It has all the functionalities of the regular driver, but add Appium specific methods on top of this.

NuGet Package:

Dependencies:

• Selenium.WebDriver
• Newtonsoft.Json

appium-dotnet-driver.tar.gz

• You need to add the following namespace line: using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;.
• Use the AppiumDriver class to construct the driver. It works the same as the Selenium Webdriver, except that the ports are defaulted to Appium values, and the driver does not know how to start the Appium on its own.
• To use the Appium methods on Element, you need to cast the object returned by the finder method to AppiumWebElement.

...
using OpenQA.Selenium.Remote;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;

namespace AppiumDriverDemo
{
	[TestFixture ()]
	public class ProgramTest
	{
		private AppiumDriver driver;

		[TestFixtureSetUp]
		public void beforeAll(){
			DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

			capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "iPhone Retina (4-inch 64-bit)");
			capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "iOS");
			capabilities.SetCapability("platformVersion", "7.1");
			capabilities.SetCapability("app", "<Path to your app>");
			driver = new AppiumDriver(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);		
		}

		[TestFixtureTearDown]
		public void afterAll(){
			// shutdown
			driver.Quit();
		}
			
		[Test ()]
		public void AppiumDriverMethodsTestCase ()
		{
			// Using appium extension methods
			AppiumWebElement el = (AppiumWebElement) driver.FindElementByIosUIAutomation(".elements()");
			el.SetImmediateValue ("abc");
			Assert.False (driver.IsAppInstalled("RamdomApp"));
		}
	}
