I have the same issue as yours, Do you have any solution already ?
The issue happens when running test on a real device.

I have found the absolute best way to locate elements is to use the Appium Ruby Console, or ARC. I don’t know why this isn’t more obvious in their docs; I stumbled upon it when I was combing through the docs after being stuck.

Here is the link to the Appium tutorial for ARC: https://appium.io/slate/en/tutorial/ios.html?ruby#appium-ruby-console

Note that it’s not in the documentation, it is only in the tutorial.

If you have any questions on how ARC works after reading that doc ping me. I’ve spent a lot of time on ARC in the past couple of weeks and I’m happy to share my knowledge. I may create a little video about it if there’s interest.
