I've tried all three and suggest you do the same. Appium vs Selendroid
doesn't make sense because there's a Selendroid mode in Appium.
Calabash has at least two different versions (iOS and Android). I
prefer appium for technical reasons. I don't want special builds for
iOS that use private APIs. On Android, I don't want to use the flaky
robotium framework as mentioned at GTAC.

Sorry if I am hijacking this thread. 

my question is about testing webapp [opening safari and testing my website] on iOS. So for this requirement which tool can you suggest.

I think Appium supports safari.

Yes, just set app: safari and you have a full-on selenium session automating safari.

Hi,
   I have iPAD physical device version being 7.1. I want to automate couple of native apps in physical device itself. Is that possible? If yes, could you please point me to resources.
Many Thanks in advance.
