This is not appium issue but your test case design issue.

http://www.javadoc.io/doc/io.appium/java-client/6.0.0-BETA2 > java.lang.String getPageSource()

Whenever your test case throws exception saying element not found, print page source and search if expected page was really loaded.

This is purely timing issue and nothing to do with appium.

Solution:

• Increase “explicit” wait for the elements which fails frequently ( keep implicit wait to minimum as possible )
• keep track of failures over the days to find out pattern & apply above logic
