Hello.
Has anyone had experience using Appium with Compose Multiplatform? Appium doesn't see testTag at all!

you have to use standard HTML attributes — data-testid, aria-label
then driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[data-testid='login_button']"))

If you're automating Android with Appium or w/e else, for test tags to become visible you need to set the Android:

Modifier.semantics { testTagsAsResourceId = true }

The way I've done it is I've created an expect/actual called platformTestTagsAsResourceId, implement it in the Android source like this:

actual var SemanticsPropertyReceiver.platformTestTagsAsResourceId: Boolean
    get() = testTagsAsResourceId
    set(value) {
        testTagsAsResourceId = value
    }

and add this semantics modifier on the top most composable of your app
