Solution

  • You shouldn't open appium in a browser like that, it's not supposed to work. Instead, use it in an appium client like the java client when creating for example an Android Driver.

    example in java:

    UiAutomator2Options options = new UiAutomator2Options()
        .setUdid('123456')
        .setApp("/home/myapp.apk");
    AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(
        new URL("http://***YOUR_URL***"), options
    );
    try {
        WebElement el = driver.findElement(AppiumBy.xpath, "//Button");
        el.click();
        driver.getPageSource();
    } finally {
        driver.quit();
    }
