I have created a Hybrid mobile app using ionic-3 and I wanted to test it using appium. I am very new to this testing and I don’t know about even basics. I have installed appium and all supporting tools. Some body please help me how exactly I can start testing the app in appium.
Thanks in advance.

You can go through the below link to start from basics.
https://appium.io/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started/#installation-via-desktop-app-download54

You can first start with android as it would be easy to configure and go through some tutorial in youtube.

Once you are comfortable with basics you can refer below description which would help in automating ionic-3 apps.

As ionic-3 apps create webview inside native context.So9 you won’t be able to test these apps using XCUITest and UIAutomator2 .
You need to use webview context and inspect element using android debugger and safari in android and ios apps respectively.
After converting to webview it would work same as automating in web browser.

You can use below capability .

cap.setcapability(“autoWebview”,true);

Thanks.
