Details

There are projects which based on Appium (modifications, additional customized automation layers and so on). In order to make client convenient these chandes were made:

• the ability to define additional commands directly was provided.
  MobileCommand.commandRepository.put(String, CommandInfo)
• access to mobile OS-specific commands and execution was made easier
• was added the ability to implement specific exctentions of the accessing to additional commands and execition.

Also update to Selenium 2.53.1

Looks to be about the same as what you showed me on your fork. I took that previous one and made use of it for our You.i Engine side of things and it worked really well.

I liked how I could subclass AppiumDriver and import commands from various devices. This will really make cross platform commands easier to call.

👍 from me
