Unable to locate an element using appium inspector

Support

Unable to locate an element which is present on mobile app
Example: X-button present on pop up window but using appium inspector i’m unable to locate it.
Also, I have dig in to app source for that element but unable to find the element in view source.

Please suggest what could be the reason?

FYI: It was working in previous app builds but not now.

if you are with Android in many cases you need to add capability:

capabilities.setCapability("enableMultiWindows", true);

HI @Aleksei I’m bound to not share the screenshots and page source.

is there a possibility of issue with appium inspector only, as the same element i was able to locate using inspector in previous builds.
Please confirm.

I do not know. I do not use Appium GUI inspector. I prefer user page source instead.

hi @Aleksei what are the steps to follow for android and ios to check user page source.
It would be very helpful for me as well.

as usual:

// Java

// on needed screen
System.out.println(driver.getPageSource());
