New Sample Idea: Maui Hybrid Mobile App Testing

[fossbrandon]

I haven’t been able to find much documentation on how to effectively E2E test a .NET MAUI Hybrid app.

The existing Appium sample in this repo is a great resource for a pure .NET MAUI app. However, I don't believe this test approach works when much of the UI is rendered inside a webview. In these cases, using Appium alone doesn't seem like enough for E2E/UI tests.

I would love to see an example hybrid mobile app that shows different testing approaches depending on how deep a user wants to take it. For example:

• Isolated Blazor component testing with bUnit
• Native shell + webview DOM testing using a combination of Appium (for native UI) and Playwright (for in‑webview DOM interactions)?
• Potential alternatives or other suggestions?

Outside of the context of the sample... Would you be able to have a look at this: jfversluis/Plugin.Maui.UITestHelpers#45

And see if that is an option? I didn't have the time to look into it, but I'd be curious to find out if that works.
