I have just switched too Appium 1.4 version and when I try to execute waitforElementPresent() command it does not work and stops the execution.This function works properly when Element is present but does not work if element is not present.
@Benoit : Sorry for late response , I tried that as well but it;s not working.When I degrade my Appium version to 1.2 things are worked for me…But with 1.4 it’s not.
