Suppose I have to tap on a menu navigation button. I have tried click() and tap() both are working fine but which one is preferred(for both emulator and physical device)

tap() method belongs to AppiumDriver class while the click() method belongs to the WebDriver class

I think, it is better to use driver.tap() method as it is more closely binded to the mobile scenario. and we can use on both emulator and real device. the result is same

I suppose that click is for computers and tap for touch screen/mobile devices (phone, tablette)
