mac2 driver instead of mac driver?

[rreing]

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! :-)

Hello Mykola,

Seems like something wrong with Mac2 driver (or i've made a mistake?), but if i search element through Mac2Driver<Mac2Element>, i cannot cast found element into Mac2Element and getting ClassCastException (in debug i can see RemoteWebElement was found)

For example, code:

By locator = By.id("LoginLoginField");
Mac2Element element = driver.findElement(locator);

is throwing:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebElement cannot be cast to io.appium.java_client.mac.Mac2Element
	at com.company.page.setLogin(LoginPage.java:36)
	at com.company.page.login(LoginPage.java:113)

where driver is:

Mac2Driver<Mac2Element> driver

I cannot init PageFactory with Mac2Elements ether
