Error encountered: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException - Method not implemented for executing a task on an iOS native element

An error occurs when trying to perform an action (click, clear, send key, etc) on an iOS native element due to the method not being implemented yet. However, the findElement function works correctly.

This issue only affects iOS and works fine on Android devices.

The current context is NATIVE_APP

The same code and device function perfectly on another machine.

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();

cap.setCapability("platformName", "ios");

cap.setCapability("platformVersion", "9.2");

cap.setCapability("deviceName", "ipad");        

cap.setCapability("udid", <my device's  UDID>);     

cap.setCapability("app", "/Users/syscotester/Documents/APP/App.ipa");

WebDriver  driver = new IOSDriver<>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4724/wd/hub"),cap);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//UIAWebView[1]/UIATextField[1]"));

elm.click();

The exception is thrown at the line elm.click();

It was functioning correctly until yesterday, but suddenly stopped working. Please provide assistance.

The stack trace:

Answer №1

After encountering issues with Appium, I decided to create a new user account on my MAC. It seemed that the problem lied in the cache not being properly deleted when uninstalling Appium (by moving it to trash after downloading from a dmg file). However, once I set up a new user account and reinstalled everything, the native element started functioning properly.

While this workaround did solve the issue, it was quite cumbersome. If anyone has alternative solutions, please feel free to share them.
