Issues/Bugs

Hi,
tap function is working on ios simulator but not on real device i.e. iPad
the error is something like 'variable au could not found"

2

Which library are you using to produce the scripts ?

3

Could be post more details? Failure log and the code? That would help to figure out the error.

It says can’t find variable ‘au’. Are you sure you are initializing the driver properly?
And why are you doing a complexTap? Won’t a normal tap work for your situation?
