Real android phone automation using appium
To automate the apps on real Android phone, you will have to connect the Android phone to computer. Once phone is registered with adb, all apps can be automated in the same way as emulator. Here are the steps to register your device with computer via adb.
- Enable the developer options in your phone. In Samsung Galaxy, you can go to the settings - About and then tap on build number 7 times to enable the developer options.
- Enable the "USB debugging" and "stay awake" settins on your mobile phone in developer options.
- Attach your mobile phone to your laptop or desktop using USB cable.
- Once you attach mobile, drivers will be installed on your system and RSA KEY will be added into your mobile phone. Just accept the key on your mobile.
