Appium is unable to locate element for android version 7.0 and above with all the appium version (1.6.X ,1.7.X, 1.8.X)

[bprajapati1990]

Hi Appium Team,

We are facing strange behavior from Appium where it is failing to locate an element for android version 7.X.X and above. But it is working fine for Android Version 6.X

Scenario:
Let user is at screen A and then he performs some action -> after action user remains on the same screen A. Now Appium is unable to locate the elements of Screen A.
If i do background and foreground from this screen, appium starts locating the element.

Could you please check and help us on this.

Hi Team,

I am also facing a likely problem with appium dmg (v1.8.1)
My script is working fine on Android version 6.0 (Moto) but the same script is not working on other devices like (Samsung Android 6.0.1 and Oneplus Android 7.1).
While going through the Appium logs I found that
The locator’s value and for few elements types are getting changed in Samsung and OnePlus.
eg (List is returning less number of elements also
In place of locator ‘text’ data is coming in ‘content-desc’,
few elements are not even present in OnePlus and Samsung but have locator and value defined in Moto).

Any suggestions for the workaround …or remedy for it …?

Hi Team,

I am facing some issues in locating elements in a IOS native iPad application:
For clicking a button inside a frame, I am not able to locate that particular element in appium inspector. If I try to use locators for different areas of that button in my script, it shows an error in console saying “element could not be found”.
I tried switchTo.frame() also to locate the element but it didnt work.

Could you please help in solving the issue

Hi Team,

I encountered a problem in locating elements in native iOS app:
I am able to get locators like id or XPath for clicking some images of the app screen through appium inspector but using those locators in our script do not execute tests in runtime & gives no error in console. I tried using longpress of Touchactions class for clicking those images but it failed.
Please find the appium logs below
