Installing the appium-gesture-plugin does have any other side effects ?

[vnuta9]

I am running appium ver 2.0.0-beta66 and java-client ver8.5,Node ver18.15.0 JDK 15 on Mac Ventura ver 13.3.1a.

I have a legacy gestures code using TouchAction classes which works sporadically on Android. iOS is little bit more consistent. I have culled together code for all the swipe/scroll, tap, long press methods using the W3cAction classes like Sequence etc.,.Also collected code for all the above methods using gesture plugin too.

Before jumping the gun by running the command appium plugin update gestures --unsafe to install the gesture plugin, I am thinking about the features I may lose by installing the gestures plugin.

• Could I be able to run the code with legacy code with 'TouchAction' class, until it's support is fully removed ?
• Can I use the code I collected for swipe/scroll/tap methods using W3cAction classes from org.openqa.selenium.interactions package ?

Plugin has its own implementation and does not override any logic on gestures at server side.

All the existing commands will work.
