Appium Desktop - Interactions are not available for this element

[ynesterssl]

Appium Desktop - v. v1.15.1

I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium and should be investigated as an Appium Desktop issue

The problem

Not able to inspect elements for iOS app. Source tree is not visible. When click on the elements nothing happens:

In some cases getting an error 'Interactions are not available for this element'.

Appium Desktop find elements using Search. I'm getting the results when searching by ID:

Tried to install older version of the app and it works fine.

Environment

• I am running Appium Desktop version <1.15.1>.
• I am on (pick one):
  • [x] Mac, Catana v. 10.15

IOS

Hi @liuchengxu11 , Thank you for the feedback. Could you please clarify what did you mean by Use Android elements to put IOS to execute logs like this?

Do you suggest to change desired capability to Android instead of iOS? Or you suggest to use Android app to locate elements and use it for iOS? - This case is not going to work for me. Our apps have completely different ids for each platform.

Thank you!

[Mbachacou]

Hello,

Did you have any answers to this problem?

Thanks in advance.

[ynesterssl]

@Mbachacou I didn't get any feedback regarding the issue.

[CarrotXin]

@Mbachacou , Hello, tha same issue as you. The same errors raised when using both appium-desktop and appium-python-client. How do you resolve the issue? Thanks.

[saymowan]

Is it solved?

[MarcSteven]

It's still existing. xpath is not one recommended way to do it. But it only show xpath

[zahyaa]

Hi, Any update. Receiving the same error here as well.

[jlipps]

this error happens when the inspector can't confirm that the found element is at the same place in the hierarchy. this could be for a variety of reasons, like maybe the hierarchy is changing really fast. it's best to do a refresh, then re-select the element in the hierarchy.
