InvalidElementStateException on SecureTextField is not ready for a text input on iOS/XCUITest
Description
Just recently unable to enter text into a XCUIElementTypeSecureTextField on iOS as I consistently get InvalidElementStateException: Error Domain=com.facebook.WebDriverAgent Code=1 "'"passwordTextField" SecureTextField' is not ready for a text input. Neither the accessibility element itself nor its accessible descendants have the input focus
I have already tried different identifiers such as xpath vs className, name, everything. I have already tried setting hardware keyboard to true and/or false. I have already tried setting different sendKeyStrategy options. I have already tried getKeyboard() before and after interacting with the field.
This is a sudden break on very old regression tests, without changes to source test code or source app code for context.
Steps:
- Define element any way possible. (Have tried by className = "XCUIElementTypeSecureTextField", name= "specificID", xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeTable/XCUIElementTypeCell/XCUIElementTypeSecureTextField" and combination of driver find bys to no avail)
- sendKeys into the SecureTextField. Also have tried many ways including clearing, clicking into the field, directly sending keys from keyboard- to no avail.
- All interactions with the field produce the InvalidElementStateException
Environment

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]
@FindBy(name = "passwordTextField") private WebElement passwordTextField;
public void enterFirstPassword(String password){ ((IOSDriver)driver).getKeyboard(); passwordTextField.clear(); passwordTextField.sendKeys(password); ((IOSDriver)driver).hideKeyboard(HideKeyboardStrategy.PRESS_KEY,"next"); }

This isn't specific to the Java client. Seeing the same issue on a JavaScript project, also old regression test that has been passing fine for a long time until recently.

Downgrading to Appium 1.17.0 has resolved the issue for me. Can we move this issue over to the main repo? @mykola-mokhnach
@GeorgeXCV Please attach the page source output. It could be the page has multiple elements with duplicated identifiers
@mykola-mokhnach The iOS page that had this issue has two elements only, text input and a button. Like the OP, the regression test and actual UI hasn't changed in months. Downgrading to Appium 1.17.0 worked for me.
Sorry, I cannot help nothing without the details. Also, you won't be able to use older Appium versions while Apple does new iOS releases.
What details? I have never heard of page source output in the context of an iOS Application. Logs show one element is found. Downgrading is what fixed the issue, I believe its a bug with Appium.
Having same issue:
- Appium V1.18.1
- Real Device - iPhone 8, IOS 13.7
- Selector used - MobileBy.iOSNsPredicateString("type == 'XCUIElementTypeTextField' AND value == 'Phone'")
Page Source including"mobile: source" - 20200906084105_872.txt
Appium Log - appiumServeriPhone8.log
@NirBY Try W3C actions to send text as a possible workaround. You could also replace local WDA source with https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent/pull/379. I have disabled focus check there, so it makes sense to check if that helps.
appium/WebDriverAgent#379 This works. I have tested with my test app and I am able to type to StaticTextField which was working fine with 1.17.1 and stopped when updated to 1.18.1
@mykola-mokhnach - Thanks for the quick fix.
@mykola-mokhnach used WebDriverAgent 11.7 since I have xcode 11.7 (I have just replaced all files in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent). It didnt worked, Appium log - appiumServeriPhone8.log.txt
Note:
- Running it manually worked fine
- Also try removing WebDriverAgent & restart device, it wasn't helpful.
Thank you @mykola-mokhnach. W3C actions worked for me. while waiting for the release of the new WebDriverAgent.
