TouchAction gestures not working with Java client 5.0.0Beta on iOS

Issues/Bugs
1

Hi,

I am trying to perform gestures present in TouchAction on iOS device using the below code:

Press an element:

TouchAction action = new TouchAction(Launcher.getDriver());
action.press(element).perform();

Swipe on screen(vertical-up):

    Dimension size=getScreenSize();
	int middleX=size.width/2;
	int lowerY=(int) ((size.height)*0.80);
	int upperY=(int) ((size.height)*0.20);
	
	action.longPress(middleX, upperY).moveTo(middleX, upperY).release().perform();

but it is throwing the error as:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Support for this gesture is not yet implemented. Please contact an Appium dev (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

try:

// 1
TouchAction action = new TouchAction(Launcher.getDriver());
action.press(element).release().perform();
//2
action.press(middleX, upperY).waitAction(Duration.ofSeconds(2)).moveTo(middleX, upperY).release().perform();

For Press it is working. but swipe is still not working

What are you swiping with long press?

I want to swipe in my application. The swipe method you provided is working for swipe_down but it is not working for other swipes e.g. swipe_up, swipe_right, swipe_left.

you was asking for longPress in code. that is why i gave you working longPress.

“action.longPress(middleX, upperY)”

if you want to swipe with iOS it is easier to use:

public boolean swipeToDirection_iOS_XCTest(MobileElement el, String direction) {
        try {
            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
            HashMap<String, String> swipeObject = new HashMap<String, String>();
            if (direction.equals("d")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "down");
            } else if (direction.equals("u")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "up");
            } else if (direction.equals("l")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "left");
            } else if (direction.equals("r")) {
                swipeObject.put("direction", "right");
            }
            swipeObject.put("element", el.getId());
            js.executeScript("mobile:swipe", swipeObject);
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }
    }

it failed with below error on terminal

your appium version should be at least 1.6.5 is it?
