the original version of the Appium1.5.3gui, then why upgrade it? to be compatible with the latest versions of IOS10 and Android7Xcode8 Upgrade will not support the use of uiautomation, but instead use xcuitest, and Xcode8 support iOS 10, so the change is still very large. The development code must use XCODE8 to compile. Appium1.5.3 does not support the use of Xcode8, so upgrade Appium1.6 to match the test Appium1.6, use Xcuitest to support iOS9.3 and iOS10, and use UI Automator2 to support Android.
