Appium is an open source test automation tool for native and hybrid
mobile apps. It supports iOS today and Android support is in the
works. Appium drives Apple's UIAutomation library using Selenium's
WebDriver JSON wire protocol. Appium is based on
mobile apps. It supports both iOS and Android. Appium drives Apple's
UIAutomation library and Android's UiAutomator using Selenium's
WebDriver JSON wire protocol. Appium is based on
[Dan Cuellar's](http://github.com/penguinho) work on iOS Auto.
Testing with Appium has two big benefits:
1. You don't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way because
Appium's automation is based on Apple's UIAutomation library.
1. You don't have to recompile your app or modify it in any way, due
to use of standard automation APIs on all platforms.
2. You can write tests with your favorite dev tools using Java, JavaScript,
PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, or Perl with the Selenium WebDriver API and
language-specific client libraries. If you use the UIAutomation library
without Appium you can only write tests using JavaScript and you can only
run tests through the Instruments application.

UiAutomator you can only write tests in Java.
