$(~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. ---
