Description

Description

I'm trying to use @FindAll with @iOSXCUITFindBy to find multiple IOS elements but it does not work.

this code works:

    @FindAll({
            @FindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeSearchField"),
            @FindBy(xpath = "//XCUIElementTypeSearchField")
    })
    private WebElement searchField;

but IOS elements have accessibility attribute which is not present in the @FindBy annotation.

Environment

  • Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: latest
  • Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: latest

Details

Incompatible types. Found: 'io.appium.java_client.pagefactory.iOSXCUITFindBy', required: 'org.openqa.selenium.support.FindBy'

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]


    @FindAll({
            @iOSXCUITFindBy(accessibility = "a"),
            @iOSXCUITFindBy(accessibility = "b")
    })
    private WebElement searchField;

The issue provides a reproducible Java declaration using @FindAll and @iOSXCUITFindBy, but names no source files or tests. Start by tracing how these annotations are declared and processed, then verify that the example compiles and can locate multiple iOS elements using accessibility selectors.
