Hi everyone! I'm researching how mobile QA engineers automate app testing. This isn't for promotion I'm just trying to understand real-world workflows and pain points.

Suppose you need to automate this flow:

• Open the Flipkart app
• Search for "Samsung 43-inch TV"
• Open the first result
• Add it to the cart
• Verify the product appears in the cart

A few quick questions:

1. Roughly how long would this take you to automate in Appium (or your preferred framework)?
2. What's usually the biggest time sink locators, framework setup, waits, debugging, or maintenance?
3. Have you tried AI-powered testing tools? If yes, what made you stick with Appium?
4. If an AI tool could generate and maintain tests from plain English, what would stop you from adopting it?

Even a one-line answer is helpful. I'm trying to understand real-world QA workflows and pain points not promote any tool. Thanks!
