Airtest VS kivy

You can try such mobile app test softwares like AirTest. AirTest is cross-platform and supports testing Windows, Android, iOS and Web apps. I'm using AirTest to perform some repeated tasks in the mobile game I'm playing.

I have been using Airtest IDE https://github.com/AirtestProject/Airtest as device automation tool for Android and iOS for the last little while, basically it lets you write Python code which can do device automation with image recognition etc. It works pretty well on Android Emulators so I used to use it to setup macro farming where the built-in macro/function was lacking as it doesn't support image recognition. However on iOS devices it is extremely slow apparently due to how XCUITest was designed so it literally takes like a minute for any interactions to execute.

We will create this complete Python registration form using Kivy. We get started by installing Kivy, a powerful Python framework for building interactive applications.

For reference, YouTube runs on Python[1,2,3]:

> 1. Python and Django: YouTube’s backend is predominantly written in Python, offering a balance of performance and readability.

> 2. Google Cloud Platform...

> 3. Java and C++: YouTube also utilizes Java and C++ for specific backend services, as they provide better performance for certain tasks.

A long time ago, I looked into these Python frameworks:

I have a multi-threaded app using Kivy for the GUI and sometimes need to update the GUI from a background thread. This app is a few years old and I recently updated to Kivy 2.2 and am now getting an exception with the message "Cannot create graphics instruction outside the main Kivy thread" -- which is related to this change in Kivy 2.1: https://github.com/kivy/kivy/pull/7270

I suggest you use kivy which is suitable for the desktop but also has the advantage of being one of few options for creating Python based native(ish) mobile apps (for IoS and Android app stores).

I think the best one right now for python is "beeware": https://beeware.org/

You also have Kivy which is prety good: https://kivy.org/

Anyone has some experience with Kivy [1]? It seems that it checks off some of my requirements, like cross-platform, supporting touch interfaces, ease of development, allows complex/fancy UIs as well, etc.

There are hot reload tools like kivy.tools.kviewer and KivyMD HotReload and I think others... but maybe they used something else, hard to tell
