i am using Appium Client 1.18.0-1 with AppiumForMac on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7.
I am able to use the Appium Inspector to verify an UI element exists in Word hiearchy.
I’ve set up android studio and all of its library, and ran the appium-doctor, and it came back “Everything looks good, bye!”
NOTE: This is a desktop app on MacBook, not IOS. Do i need to get bootstrap and XCUI agent to work for desktop app, not IOS apps?
However, at run-time, trying to find element by id or name, which was verified with Appium Inspector, would return empt array:
