# Appium Server Connection

The **Appium Server connection** is used for automating mobile testing on iOS and Android. It drives native mobile applications using WebDriver.

To use this connection type, you must have an Appium server installed on a host that is accessible from Leapwork.  
**Note:** This feature can be accessed by **Leapwork Admins only**.

## Add Connection

1. Click the **Add** button.

In the **Add Connection** pop-up window, fill in the following fields:

* **Description**: Provide a short description.

When you select Appium Server, new fields appear:

* **Hostname**: The host of the Appium server (IP address or hostname).

* **On iOS devices** : Go to **Settings → General → About** for hostname, or **Settings → Network** → active network → **Properties** for IP.
