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.

Compatibility Matrix

The Appium .NET Client depends on Selenium .NET binding, thus the Selenium .NET binding update might affect the Appium .NET Client behavior. For example, some changes in the Selenium binding could break the Appium client.

Note

We only raise the minimum required Selenium.WebDriver version when a newer Selenium release introduces changes that require updates in the Appium .NET Client. If you need deterministic builds, we recommend pinning the Selenium.WebDriver version in your own project.

v8

To keep compatibility with Appium v3, most deprecated endpoint method calls have been replaced with compatible extension command with this PR. Old drivers which still haven't implemented extension commands might not have proper implementation. Then, you will need to update Appium driver versions first.

v5

Appium server compatibility for v5.x

Important

In case you are using the latest beta client v5.x please be aware you will either have to upgrade your appium server to 2.x or add the base-path argument: appium --base-path=/wd/hub, due to a breaking change on the default server base path.
Regardless, moving to appium 2.x is highly recommended since appium 1.x is no longer maintained.
For more details about how to migrate to 2.x, see the following link : appium 2.x migrating

Warning

Because WinAppDriver has been abandoned by MS, running Appium dotnet-client 5.x with WAD will not work since it has not been updated to support the W3C protocol.
To run appium on Windows Applications, you will need to use appium-windows-driver which will act as a proxy to WAD. Examples of running Windows Applications with dotnet-client can be found here: windows Integration test 5.0.0
Regardless, feel free to open an issue on the WAD repository that will help get MS to open-source that project.

NuGet Package

Dependencies:

Usage

basics

  • You need to add the following namespace line: using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;.
  • Use the AppiumDriver class/subclass to construct the driver. It works the same as the Selenium Webdriver, except that the ports default to Appium values, and the driver does not know how to start the Appium independently.
  • To use the Appium methods on Element, specify the parameter of AppiumDriver or its subclasses.

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.

Compatibility Matrix

The Appium .NET Client depends on Selenium .NET binding, thus the Selenium .NET binding update might affect the Appium .NET Client behavior. For example, some changes in the Selenium binding could break the Appium client.

Appium .NET ClientSelenium Binding.NET Version
8.3.24.46.0.NET Standard 2.0
8.3.04.44.0.NET Standard 2.0
8.2.04.36.0.NET Standard 2.0

5.1.04.23.0.NET 6.0, .NET Framework 4.8
5.0.04.0.0 - 4.22.0.NET 6.0, .NET Framework 4.8

Note

We only raise the minimum required Selenium.WebDriver version when a newer Selenium release introduces changes that require updates in the Appium .NET Client. If you need deterministic builds, we recommend pinning the Selenium.WebDriver version in your own project.

v8

To keep compatibility with Appium v3, most deprecated endpoint method calls have been replaced with compatible extension command with this PR. Old drivers which still haven't implemented extension commands might not have proper implementation. Then, you will need to update Appium driver versions first.

v5

Appium server compatibility for v5.x

Important

In case you are using the latest beta client v5.x please be aware you will either have to upgrade your appium server to 2.x or add the base-path argument: appium --base-path=/wd/hub, due to a breaking change on the default server base path.
Regardless, moving to appium 2.x is highly recommended since appium 1.x is no longer maintained.
For more details about how to migrate to 2.x, see the following link : appium 2.x migrating

WinAppDriver Notice!

Warning

Because WinAppDriver has been abandoned by MS, running Appium dotnet-client 5.x with WAD will not work since it has not been updated to support the W3C protocol.
To run appium on Windows Applications, you will need to use appium-windows-driver which will act as a proxy to WAD. Examples of running Windows Applications with dotnet-client can be found here: windows Integration test 5.0.0
Regardless, feel free to open an issue on the WAD repository that will help get MS to open-source that project.

NuGet

NuGet Package

Dependencies:

Usage

basics

  • You need to add the following namespace line: using OpenQA.Selenium.Appium;.
  • Use the AppiumDriver class/subclass to construct the driver. It works the same as the Selenium Webdriver, except that the ports default to Appium values, and the driver does not know how to start the Appium independently.
  • To use the Appium methods on Element, specify the parameter of AppiumDriver or its subclasses.
