A few pointers that should help you in your automation:

• Make sure the setup is rock solid. Use the SampleTest provided in this article to test out the setup before you proceed with your automation.
• Use Id/Accessibility Id/Name/ClassName/Predicate String to locate elements, your test will run very fast. Avoid absolute and relative xpaths.
• If you are using real device and app is not installed then only that you need is a  .app file for testing your app.
• Close the Appium session(quit driver) when your test is over.
• Use Appium inspector to get locators of elements.
