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:
