Can you please paste the code that is trying to do this?

3

$(~menu).waitForVisible() &&
$(~menu).click();

Above are the code to access the element
But the appium is unable to locate the element though it’s visible on the mobile screen page

In Java you have to tell it what element you’re clicking . This can either be done via xpath or element ID. I think you also need to do the same.
