We have app build in React Native and Cordova writen in TypeScript. We use a IDE for this language and would also like to write all our tests in the same language. Appium supports javascript for writing tests, but App Center does not.
We would really like to see javascript or even typescript supported so we don't need to write all our appium tests in java. It will greatly improve our productivity, ease of use and remove our need to use another IDE to write and run the tests. We use Webstorm and similar tools now.

2021-07-12T10:20:07.023+00:00 What we has got nothing to do with visual studio. We don't use visual studio at all. We use Appium to do end-to-end tests for our React Native mobile app. We can run appium locally and would like to use typescript to write te tests in, which appium supports.
We want to use App Center to do our end-to-end testing on a device farm using Appium. Now it would be nice if Appcenter supports typescript foor Appium as well, so we can do our complete codebase in Typescript (or at least javascript) instead of mixing in JAVA for the tests and using typescript for the actual sourcecode. -
