How to switch between native and web screens in v8? (hybrid mobile app)

[Krisss22]

Hi all,

In Appium v7 I was successfully using ContextHandles to switch between Native and Web views in a Hybrid mobile app.
Right now, AppiumDriver doesn't recognize context handles:

So these no longer accurate
- Set contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
- String context = driver.getContext();

What other solution exist for Version 8 to switch between screens?

SupportsContextSwitching describes the context management API. 2 classes implement this interface: AndroidDriver and IOSDriver.

More details can be found in the migration guide.

does this mean I have to re-write test using Android driver instead of Appium driver?

The implementation of your tests is up to you, you can choose any approach
