I was expecting some reply but from last 7 days no body replied. I think selecting automation on Appium for Hybrid Apps is my bad.

I am not sure what happened because I’ve never tested for Hybrid app, but I think it might be worth to read this topic: [Swipe broken on 1.3.3? ios 8.1](https://discuss.appium.io/t/swipe-broken-on-1-3-3-ios-8-1/1688/20)

Do you know about the developer option: Pointer location

This helps me a lot when debugging tests that do swipes. I have it turned on for the phone use by my Jenkins agent so I can see what it was doing after each test in the screen shot or what it was doing when I take videos.
