What's the difference between IOS_XCUI_TEST and Appium?

[dr12782]

In DesiredCapabilities, we set MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME. It supports values - IOS_XCUI_TEST, APPIUM and SELENDROID.

Does anyone know what is the difference between AutomationName.IOS_XCUI_TEST and AutomationName.APPIUM? It is clear that the former is specific to iOS but which of these should I use if I am automating an iOS app?

Thanks in advance.

Never mind. Figured out from the docs that Appium is used for iOS 9 and lower while XCUI_TEST should be used for iOS 10 devices.
