I see the button in the XML, i can tap it using Appium inspector with this Xpath:
//UIAApplication[1]/UIAWindow[2]/UIAActivityView[1]/UIAActionSheet[1]/UIAScrollView[1]/UIACollectionView[1]/UIACollectionCell[2]/UIACollectionView[1]/UIACollectionCell[3]
But not able to click it from the test.
Thanks
You should try to use a better selector, xpath with index are unreliable.
If you can tap it in the inspector, you can tap it in the test, it is the same.
It’s right there in your XML, so it should be accessible in Native context. What might not work is if the Facebook app is invoked as iOS testing has some limitations interacting with apps other than your UAT.
I have found XPATH to be plenty reliable, though I don’t use massively long chains like that (a single index anywhere in the chain will break it), nor do I typically use indexes in general (only when no other unique identifier is available).
Try something like this in Python:
self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//UIACollectionCell[@name='Facebook']").click()
