Dark Mode testing with Appium
Dark mode is a setting, available on both Android and iOS, which toggles the interface appearance of the phone to use either the standard light mode setting or a dark mode.
When dark mode is enabled, the phone will switch to a dark background with lighter foreground colors, which enables better viewing in low-light conditions.
Changing Dark Mode
This example will use mobile: setAppearance to set the appearance to dark (dark mode).
