How to get the individual element of a screen where all the links, texts are lying under XCUIElementTypeWebView ?
Below is my setup:
Node v11.9
Appium v1.17.1-1

Below is my capability:
{
“xcodeOrgId”: “”,
“xcodeSigningId”: “iPhone Developer”,
“udid”: “”,
“app”: “.ipa”,
“deviceName”: “”,
“platformName”: “iOS”,
“automationName”: “XCUITest”,
“platformVersion”: “13.2.3”,
“bundleId”: “”,
“startIWDP”: true
}

You have webView = switch context to it. And you will see everything like in browser.

@Aleksei, Thanks for your reply
I already tried getting the contexts in the code, and it returns
Output:
contexts: [ 'NATIVE_APP' ]

Code:
console.log('contexts:', contexts)
Can you tell me what’s the alternative?

  1. Real phone?
  2. Enabled webView on phone safari settings?
  3. Check that you able to see your webView on Safari browser from Mac with iphone connected.

All fine -> now appium turn
