Taking screenshot in appium
Some important points
- Screenshot helps us debug the failing tests easily
- We can embed the screenshots in the test report
- Developers may restrict taking screenshot of the app due to security reasons. In this case, Screenshot will not work
- Code to take screenshot in Android and iOS is same
