Build your own Appium 2.0 Driver
summary
Shows how to build a standalone Appium 2.0 Node.js driver that registers with the server, extends appium’s base driver, and maps W3C routes (implements createSession, deleteSession, setURL). Uses ADB to port‑forward and fetch a port‑forwarded websocket URL to hand to Ta0/DevTools (CDP) for browser control on Android. Demonstrates a WebdriverIO test hitting google.com on a real device with 48 open tabs; server logs show session created, setURL returns 200, and deleteSession returns 200.
