Quick example:

• Instead of

- find an element by some selector
- write your own logic to wait for it to be available
- click on it

you can just call clickEl() with Kunlun.

Default selector type is accessibility id, you can overwrite it with xpath, -ios uiautomation, etc

• Print out Appium client side logging while running the test, just append DEBUG=true in command line

This package is still under construction, more are coming.
