Automation Happy Hour 4: Zoom, continued finally...

Code samples for Automation Happy Hour are available at github.com/appium-pro/ahh

OK, everybody, Zoom is a beast! Here are some of the challenges we ran into in this episode of Automation Happy Hour:

• differing versions of the app across Android and iOS leading to incompatible joining requirements (passwords)
• realizing we can run without passwords, but to do that we have to add a flow to 'admit' users
• realizing that the 'admit' button must be tapped via location (why??)
• realizing that heading back to Zoom from the Notes app (after paste / text retrieval) needs to happen via the green bar at the top of the screen

So we spent a lot of time running into these issues and fixing them, but we didn't quite make the goal of a full end-to-end flow. Granted, it was always an ambitious goal, and we showed that it's possible, but after 4 weeks working on one app, it's time to move on! Stay tuned for what we work with next.
