Hi,
I am using Appium to automate test pages on iOS real device. I am clicking “Add address” button in my workflow which opens a pop-up window and asks the users to fill address related info. But on this page, I am not able to access any element. I went through the similar issues on google and put wait of more than 100 seconds but still elements are not accessible and throwing the same StaleElementReferenceException error.
I tried to refresh the page but then also I am getting the same error.
Appium logs:
[RemoteDebugger] Received WebKit data: ‘{“result”:{“result”:{“type”:“object”,“objectId”:"{“injectedScriptId”:1,“id”:1}",“className”:“k”,“description”:“StaleElementReferenceError: Element does not exist in cache”},“wasThrown”:true},"i…’

I have same automation running on desktop browsers(Chrome, firefox and IE) and android browsers (chrome) and not facing any such exception.
When I am doing driver.getPageSource then also test is failing with same error.
