Description
I haven't been able to find what the final word on scrolling in Android is. According to the python source code, there is a method scroll. But it doesn't work.
According to the Android docs, there's a thing called UiScrollable. But it doesn't work.
According to the appium docs, there's a thing called TouchActions. But it doesn't work.
driver.execute_script("mobile: scroll", {"direction": 'down', 'element': el})
If you do this, you are told that "the method has not yet been implemented".
So what is the final word on scrolling? That it's completely broken? That scroll is supposed to work, and that there is something wrong with my setup?

Research direction
Start by tracing the Python client's scroll method and compare it with the Android UiScrollable, Appium TouchActions, and mobile: scroll entry points mentioned in the report. Reproduce the examples if possible and document which scrolling approaches are supported, what fails, and whether the reported unimplemented method is expected.
