San Francisco, CA, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LambdaTest, a GenAI-native quality engineering platform, has announced an industry-first integration of Appium 3.0.0-rc.1 (Beta), enabling users to run mobile test automation on Android and iOS devices through the cloud. With this release, LambdaTest becomes the first platform to offer Appium 3 Beta support, reinforcing its commitment to delivering cutting-edge testing solutions that help developers and QA teams stay ahead of the curve.

Appium 3 introduces a modular, plugin-first architecture, marking a significant evolution in mobile test automation. By integrating this version, LambdaTest empowers teams to seamlessly test their apps on cloud-hosted mobile devices, without the need for local setup, while benefiting from improved performance, modern capabilities, and a developer-friendly ecosystem.

Appium 3.0.0-rc.1 is a streamlined update focused on removing deprecated APIs and enforcing modern WebDriver standards. It requires Node.js v20.19.0+ and npm v10+, and supports only W3C-compliant capabilities. The file unzip logic has been shifted to individual drivers like UiAutomator2, making the framework more modular. With LambdaTest’s Appium 3 Beta integration, teams can instantly test on the latest Android and iOS devices, no local setup needed. It supports parallel testing to speed up execution, offers enterprise-grade security, and integrates smoothly with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and CircleCI.
