Description

Hi

I took a look at this: Appium Docs and found:
"Appium has beta support for automation of OS X desktop applications. Development of this driver happens at the appium-mac-driver, and relies on a native OS X binary called AppiumForMac."

But when i open either of project i see "Please consider switching to appium-mac2-driver for over macOS 10.15". And there is no app called AppiumForMac with releases like this: releases
So i don't know how to proceed with appium for mac 2

Do you have any doc with step-by-step examples i can start from? Thanks!

Update:
Ok i successfully used mac2 driver instead of mac driver! :-)

Research direction

Start with the Appium Docs mac driver page and compare its references to appium-mac-driver, AppiumForMac, and appium-mac2-driver. Check the linked appium-for-mac releases and the page's guidance for macOS 10.15; done means the documentation clearly explains which driver to use and provides the requested starting steps.
