I am able to launch Appium Desktop and inspect elements but on some pages of the app when I refresh the inspector the inspector just keeps spinning. It never seems to come back and display the element hierarchy. I have tried “Appium” and “UIAutomator2” as the automationName in my capabilities. I am using an Android Pixel emulator on API 24 with Appium 1.9.1
Any other ideas? Thanks.
Hi kdk321,
This case could be happen if the page you are inpecting is actually retreiving data.
If it’s the cause here is a solution: before inspecting, try moving the app on the background and redisplay it.
(by clicking on switch button 2 times)
