Description

I'm using Appium AndroidDriver with Selenium WebDriver (Java) to automate my Power BI windows application. In one scenario after the particular click event New window will get opening up.

I was able to locate the elements & automationID in it, but driver.switchTo().frame("XXXX"); does not switching to that particular window.

After dig into that, I found that the particular frame is not capturing in my current session. Now I have to switch to that frame.

Any inputs??
