Documentation | Get Started | Discussion Forum | Help with Translations

Appium Inspector is a GUI assistant tool for Appium, providing visual inspection of the application under test. It can show the application page screenshot along with its page source, and includes various features for interacting with the app.

When inspecting a mobile app, the Inspector looks like this:

Installation

Appium Inspector is released in two formats:

1. Standalone desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux - download it from the Releases section
2. Appium server plugin - see the plugin README for details

Check the System Requirements and Installation documentation for more details.

[!NOTE]

The Inspector was also formerly released as a web application hosted at https://inspector.appiumpro.com. The Appium team no longer has developer access to this site, so even though it remains operational, it is highly unlikely to be updated to a newer Inspector version, and may be taken down without notice. We recommend migrating to the standalone app or the plugin version. The Appium team is exploring the idea of hosting an up-to-date version of the web app in the future.

Features

The Inspector has many features in addition to its app inspection abilities:

• Specify the Appium server details
• Interact with the app screenshot
• Search for elements and interact with them
• Run Appium driver commands
• and more...

Check the Features documentation for a more comprehensive list!

Cloud Platforms

The Inspector has built-in integrations with various cloud service provider platforms:

[!NOTE]

We may remove cloud providers if they no longer work properly with this inspector, as there is no compatibility.

Reporting Issues

If you run into a problem, first check whether you can reproduce it without the Inspector, by using a different Appium client.

• If the issue still exists, then it's not an issue with the Inspector - report it at the main Appium repo
• If the issue is gone, then it is likely specific to the Inspector - please report it in this repo
