I.performSwipe(100,200); is completely broken, no error, no function.

How does this function work all the docs say is:

"performSwipe Perform a swipe on the screen.

I.performswipe(100,200); Parameters from to Appium: support Android and iOS"

Left to right, or top to bottom? What are the to and from parameters actually doing if they are just numbers?

Totally agree on this, we need better documentation for this method.

For Google travelers, this is the right way to use the method:

I.performSwipe({ x: 360, y: 180 }, { x: 180, y: 180 });

Coordinates are of course examples, need to adjust them for your use-case. For me, swipeLeft/swipeRight etc. do not work at all, so I was very happy to get this method to work, even if it is less clean and less stable than swiping an element by a selector.
