+
+***
+
+Appium is an open-source automation framework that provides
+[WebDriver](https://www.w3.org/TR/webdriver/)-based automation possibilities for a wide range of
+different mobile, desktop and IoT platforms. Appium is modular and extensible, and supports multiple
+programming languages, which means there is an entire ecosystem of related software:
+* [__Drivers__](#drivers) add support for automating specific platforms
+* [__Clients__](#clients) allow writing Appium tests in your programming language of choice
+* [__Plugins__](#plugins) allow to further extend Appium functionality
+
+## Upgrading From Older Versions
+
+The Appium team only provides support for the most recent version of Appium. If you wish to upgrade from
+an older major Appium version, please refer to the migration guides:
+
+* [Appium v2 to v3](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/guides/migrating-2-to-3/)
+* [Appium v1 to v2](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/guides/migrating-1-to-2/)
+
+## Installation
+
+Appium can be installed using `npm` (other package managers are not currently supported). Please
+check the [installation docs](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/quickstart/install/) for the
+system requirements and further information.
+
+If upgrading from Appium 1, make sure Appium 1 is fully uninstalled (`npm uninstall -g appium`).
+Unexpected errors might appear if this has not been done.
+
+```bash
+npm i -g appium
+```
+
+Note that this will only install the core Appium server, which cannot automate anything on its own.
+Please install [drivers](#drivers) for your target platforms in order to automate them.
+
+## Drivers
+
+Appium supports app automation across a variety of platforms, like iOS, Android, macOS, Windows,
+and more. Each platform is supported by one or more "drivers", which know how to automate that
+particular platform. You can find a full list of officially-supported and third-party drivers in
+[Appium Ecosystem's Drivers page](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/drivers/).
+
+Driver management is done using [Appium's Extension command-line interface](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/cli/extensions/):
+
+```bash
+# Install an official driver from npm (see documentation for a list of such drivers)
+appium driver install <driver-name>
+# Install any driver from npm
+appium driver install --source=npm <driver-name>
+# See documentation for installation from other sources
+
+# List already installed drivers
+appium driver list --installed
+# Update a driver (it must be already installed)
+# This will NOT update the major version, in order to prevent breaking changes
+appium driver update <driver-name>
+# Update a driver to the most recent version (may include breaking changes)
+appium driver update <driver-name> --unsafe
+# Uninstall a driver (it won't last forever, will it?)
+appium driver uninstall <driver-name>
+```
+
+## Clients
+
+Client libraries enable writing Appium tests in different programming languages. There are
+officially-supported clients for Java, Python, Ruby, and .NET C#, as well as third-party clients
+for other languages. You can find a full list of clients in
+[Appium Ecosystem's Clients page](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/clients/).
+
+## Plugins
+
+Plugins allow you to extend server functionality without changing the server code. The main
+difference between drivers and plugins is that the latter must be explicitly enabled on
+Appium server startup (all installed drivers are enabled by default):
+
+```bash
+appium --use-plugins=<plugin-name>
+```
+
+You can find a full list of officially-supported and third-party plugins in
+[Appium Ecosystem's Plugins page](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/ecosystem/plugins/).
+
+Similarly to drivers, plugin management is also done using
+[Appium's Extension command-line interface](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/cli/extensions/):
+
+```bash
+# Install an official plugin from npm (see documentation for a list of such plugins)
+appium plugin install <plugin-name>
+# Install any plugin from npm
+appium plugin install --source=npm <plugin-name>
+# See documentation for installation from other sources
+
+# List already installed plugins
+appium plugin list --installed
+# Update a plugin (it must be already installed)
+# This will NOT update the major version, in order to prevent breaking changes
+appium plugin update <plugin-name>
+# Update a plugin to the most recent version (may include breaking changes)
+appium plugin update <plugin-name> --unsafe
+# Uninstall a plugin
+appium plugin uninstall <plugin-name>
+```
+
+## Server Command Line Interface
+
+In order to start sending commands to the Appium server, it must be running on the URL and port
+where your client library expects it to listen. [Appium's command-line interface](http://appium.io/docs/en/latest/cli/server/)
+is used to launch and configure the server:
+
+```bash
+# Start the server on the default host (0.0.0.0) and port (4723)
+appium server
+# You can also omit the 'server' subcommand
+appium
+# Start the server on the given host, port and use a custom base path prefix (the default prefix is '/')
+appium --address 127.0.0.1 --port 9000 --base-path /wd/hub
+```
+
+Appium supports execution of parallel server processes, as well as parallel driver sessions within a
+single server process. Refer the corresponding driver documentations regarding which mode is optimal
+for the particular driver or whether it supports parallel sessions.
+
+## Why Appium?
+
+1. You usually don't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way, due to the use of standard
+   automation APIs on all platforms.
+2. You can write tests with your favorite dev tools using any WebDriver-compatible language such as
+   Java, Python, Ruby and C#. There are also third party client implementations for other languages.
+3. You can use any testing framework.
+4. Some drivers like `xcuitest` and `uiautomator2` have built-in mobile web and hybrid app support.
+   Within the same script, you can switch seamlessly between native app automation and webview
+   automation, all using the WebDriver model that's already the standard for web automation.
+5. You can run your automated tests locally and in a cloud. There are multiple cloud providers that
+   support various Appium drivers (mostly targeting iOS and Android mobile automation).
+6. [Appium Inspector](https://github.com/appium/appium-inspector) can be used to visually inspect
+   the page source of applications across different platforms, facilitating easier test development.
+
+Investing in the [WebDriver](https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/webdriver-spec.html) protocol means you
+are betting on a single, free, and open protocol for testing that has become a web standard. Don't
+lock yourself into a proprietary stack.
+
+For example, if you use Apple's XCUITest library without Appium, you can only write tests using
+Obj-C/Swift, and you can only run tests through Xcode. Similarly, with Google's UiAutomator or
+Espresso, you can only write tests in Java/Kotlin. Appium opens up the possibility of true
+cross-platform native app automation, for mobile and beyond!
+
+If you are looking for a more comprehensive description of what this is all about, please read our
+documentation on [How Does Appium Work?](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/intro/appium/).
+
+## Sponsors
+
+Appium has a [Sponsorship Program](GOVERNANCE.md#sponsorship)! If you or your company uses Appium
+and wants to give back financially to the project, we use these funds to [encourage development and
+contributions](GOVERNANCE.md#compensation-scheme), as well as support other open source projects we
+rely on. [Become a sponsor](https://opencollective.com/appium) via our OpenCollective page.
+
+### Development and Strategic Partners
+
+Appium is incredibly grateful to our Development and Strategic Partners for their sustained
+contribution of project development and leadership!

+# Announcing HeadSpin as Appium's Development Partner
+
+Recently, we announced a new [sponsorship and contributor compensation program](https://appium.io/docs/en/latest/blog/2024/05/14/announcing-appiums-sponsorship-program/) for the Appium
+project. As part of this program, we felt it was important to have a place to recognize those
+companies who make an extremely valuable kind of contribution to the project: dedicated maintainer
+time. Appium only survives because of the tireless efforts of the core maintainers, and some of us
+are only able to do this work because it is donated on behalf of our day jobs. We're therefore very
+excited to announce our first Development Partner: <a
+href="https://www.headspin.io/solutions/appium-mobile-test-automation">HeadSpin</a>!

+</div>
+
+HeadSpin is a real device performance and UX analysis cloud, with full support for Appium. When you
+run your Appium tests on HeadSpin, you get access to comprehensive performance reports about your
+app, including potential network, system resource, or user experience issues. HeadSpin supports
+a variety of complex testing modes, including hooking up your own devices to the cloud, injecting
+and receiving video and audio to/from devices, working with media (streaming) platforms, and more.
+
+HeadSpin has been one of the Appium project's biggest supporters for a long time, and currently
+employs two of Appium's core maintainers, donating a significant portion of their time towards the
+development, maintenance, support, and leadership of open source Appium repos. HeadSpin has also
+worked hard towards Appium's vision of a robust Appium ecosystem, contributing several
+HeadSpin-maintained Appium drivers and plugins to the community:
+
+- A [Roku TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-roku-driver)
+- A [Tizen TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-tizen-tv-driver/)
+- A [LG webOS TV driver](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-lg-webos-driver/)
+- A [Unity game automation plugin](https://github.com/headspinio/appium-altunity-plugin)
+
+These are all free and open source Appium components that HeadSpin has donated to the community
+with the goal of fostering collaboration in these areas of media app automation.
+
+Looking to the future, HeadSpin plans to continue supporting Appium in significant ways, both as
+a Development Partner and a significant contributor to the Appium ecosystem. The Appium project is
+deeply indebted to HeadSpin for all of its support, and is proud to take this moment to recognize
+HeadSpin as our first official Development Partner!

+just keeps coming! Effective immediately we are fortunate and excited to be able to welcome a new Strategic Partner to

+</div>
+
+Sauce Labs has a long history of support for the Appium project. In fact, Appium was initially
+incubated at Sauce Labs under the direction of [@jlipps](https://github.com/jlipps), in the early
+days of mobile automation. Sauce Labs always envisioned Appium as being a project for and by the
+community, and cemented this perspective in 2016 with the donation of Appium to the JS Foundation
+(now the [OpenJS Foundation](https://openjsf.org/)). To this day, developers associated with Sauce
+Labs continue to help maintain various parts of the Appium project.
+
+Now, Sauce Labs is making a further commitment to support Appium financially as a way to enable
+our new contributor compensation program. We're very excited about this program as a vehicle for
+getting more people involved in Appium's development and maintenance. With the help of Strategic
+Partners like Sauce Labs, our project will be better able to meet the needs of our constantly
+growing userbase, and attract new developers (like you?) to build the Appium ecosystem together.
+Needless to say, we are extremely grateful for Sauce Labs's support!
+
+**About Sauce Labs**
+
+<em>Sauce Labs is the leader in continuous quality. Our Platform for Test helps organizations transform software testing from a chore to a competitive advantage.

+# Announcing Appium's Sponsorship Program
+
+Over the last several months, the Appium team has been working on a sponsorship program that is
+designed to help give back to Appium's contributors as well as to recognize important partner
+individuals or companies in the industry. This program is now officially launching! Let's dive into
+some of the details.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+First of all, the details and fine print will always be available at Appium's [Governance
+document](https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md), which outlines how the
+project is run, who makes project decisions, etc... This document will be kept up to date with the
+latest details of the program, so that's the place to bookmark for reference!
+
+As of now, Appium has opened up sponsorship opportunities via our [OpenCollective
+page](https://opencollective.com/appium). OpenCollective is a service which allows people to donate
+to open source groups. We've defined a number of giving tiers for donations, within a very wide
+range, and welcome any financial amount with gratitude! Based on the donation tier, sponsorship
+comes with a variety of benefits, including recognition at different places in the Appium repo,
+docs, and website. In addition to financial sponsorship, the project has decided to recognize
+significant donations of project leadership and maintenance efforts from companies who have
+invested heavily into Appium with their employees' time (we call these "Development Partners").
+
+What will the project do with the funds raised through this sponsorship program? We aim to give it
+all back to the Appium community! With the details again available at our [Governance document](https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md),
+we have implemented a scheme very much inspired by our friends at [WebdriverIO](https://webdriver.io/blog/2024/02/15/new-contributor-stipend-program) (thanks WDIO
+friends!) There are three groups of contributors to Appium that this scheme supports: (1) project
+maintainers (those who devote consistent time to leading the project), (2) project contributors
+(anyone in the wider community that contributes code or documentation), and (3) upstream projects
+(other open source projects Appium relies heavily on to work well). Each month, the funds raised
+via sponsorship will be distributed in different amounts to each of these groups. So if you
+make a valuable contribution to Appium moving forward, you'll be eligible to get some cash as
+a thank-you! (You'll need to have your own OpenCollective account in good standing to receive
+funds).
+
+We're very excited about this new program, and hope that it helps existing and new contributors to
+feel even better about donating their time to making Appium better. And of course, none of this
+would be possible without the amazing Partners and Sponsors we hope to attract! On that note, stay
+tuned over the next few weeks as we unveil some of our initial program launch Partners! And if you
+or your company would like to participate by supporting Appium financially, you are most welcome.
+Just head over to our OpenCollective page and choose the tier that reflects your desired
+contribution level.

+# 🚀 Appium 3
+
+Appium 3 is here — and while it's not as massive a leap as Appium 2, it introduces a few essential
+breaking changes that developers and QA engineers should be aware of.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+The main idea behind Appium 3 is to clear out old cruft so that Appium can be leaner moving
+forward, and rely on newer versions of software with better performance and security
+characteristics. We're also getting rid of legacy behaviors and protocols that we deprecated as
+part of Appium 2.
+
+For you as a user, there's not much to worry about. The breaking changes are minimal:
+
+- Node.js / NPM minimum version bump (to 20.19 / 10)
+- Removal of certain deprecated endpoints
+- Security feature flag prefix requirements (e.g. `adb_shell` to `uiautomator2:adb_shell`)
+
+In terms of new features, we've been adding them incrementally rather than saving them up for
+Appium 3. But with this release we are excited to share these new capabilities:
+
+- `appium plugin install inspector` (Use Appium to host the Inspector rather than downloading it as a separate app)
+- Clients can set the `X-Appium-Is-Sensitive` HTTP header on requests to direct the server to mask the data in the request in the logs, so that when you send a password into an input box, the password's actual value is not logged in plaintext. ([Learn more](../../developing/sensitive.md))
+
+Of course, we have a full [Appium 3 migration guide](../../guides/migrating-2-to-3.md) to make sure
+you know all the details and can deeply understand the consequences of upgrading to Appium 3 in
+your environment.
+
+---
+
+**Ready to make the leap?** Appium 3 is a great step forward in creating more secure, maintainable,
+and W3C-compliant test automation pipelines. Happy testing!

+# Hello World!
+
+This is the first post in the Appium blog. There's not much to see here yet. We're creating this
+space so we can make announcements or post other news, or information about events, that don't
+really fit inside the documentation itself.
+

+Stay tuned for more!
