UI Automation Testing for native flutter application

[flutt...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone suggest me that which tools are compatible to test the UI of native applications designed on flutter.

Also selenium and Appium are compatible with these kind of applications or not ?

I assume you already have written some integration tests for Flutter following something like:

https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/testing/integration/introduction

AFAIK Appium does not support Flutter. Appium uses UI Automator (https://developer.android.com/training/testing/ui-automator.html) on android and UI Test (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/testing_with_xcode/chapters/09-ui_testing.html) on iOS.

Because Flutter does not use any native widgets, like text boxes, menu items, etc..., (it has it's own widgets that it display on screen using it's own graphics engine -- Skia), Flutter does not work with UI Automate and UI Test. So therefore Flutter will not work with Appium.

Hope this helps!
