Appium Python Tutorial - Install Appium Server in Mac
How to install the latest version of Appium Server in Mac?
Appium Server with lots of bug fixes and new features. I have listed out the main features below, check them out.
This is a feature release, marking two major changes:
Support iOS through Xcode beta
Support multiple simultaneous sessions in Android and iOS
General

Allow app capability that is a url to have query parameters
Begin to allow multiple device support in situations where it is possible

Make nativeWebTap a setting as well as a desired capability
Allow nativeWebTap to work on real devices
Do not try to uninstall app before installing on real device, which was causing many issues
Fix clearing of text fields
Change behavior of useNewWDA: if true, forces uninstall of any existing
WebDriverAgent app on device. Set it to true if you want to apply different startup options for WebDriverAgent for each session. Real devices require
WebDriverAgent client to run for as long as possible without reinstall/restart to avoid issues. The false value will try to detect currently running WDA listener executed by previous testing session(s) and reuse it if possible, which is highly recommended for real device testing and to speed up suites of multiple tests in general. A new WDA session will be triggered at the default URL (http://localhost:8100) if WDA is not listening and webDriverAgentUrl capability is not set.
Allow setting url in native context
Fix screenshot functionality
Android:
Add remoteAdbHost capability to specify the host on which adb is running, if it is not localhost
