The simplest way is that we can first try setting up browser-related capabilities in our desired capabilities that will generate the session according to it. Afterward, we have to fetch the UI elements, which can be done in two ways:

  1. The first way is we run the Appium inspector in which we have to take the screenshot of the application for each page for the new UI.
  2. The second way is to open the application URL on our laptop/machine, and change the UI from web to mobile via navigating through inspect element → Toggle Device Toolbar and choose the device according to the platform(iOS/Android) in the Response area.

The other approach is cloud mobile browser testing. Emulation leads to the availability of a number of devices having properties of real physical mobile devices. Their availability on the cloud makes their access efficient.
