Not able to detect className locator in appium 1.6.5

[Nishanthshettar]

className strategy is used to locate an element, but with latest upgrade am not able to locate that element.

Environment

name: 'java-client' ,version: '3.0.0' is used in the framework. Appium 1.6.5 *Mac O.S 10.11.6

• xcode 8.2.1
• iOS 10.2
• , iPad Air 2 Simulator

Details

I put that className in a list and try to access by ther indexes, but in runTime am not able to detect the className. In Appium inspector or Xcode Accesibility, I can find that className but in run time it fails to find.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

        int fieldSize = meetingId.size();
        for(int iterator = 0;iterator < fieldSize; iterator++){
            LOGGER.info("Value of Join meeting fields are "+meetingId.get(iterator).getAttribute("value") + "iterator" + iterator);
        }

        System.out.print("@@@@@" + meetingId.get(0));
        waitForMobileElementToBeDisplayed(meetingId.get(0))  // it fails here, not able to detect this

Hi @Nishanthshettar v3.0.0 is too old. Could you try it on 5.0.0-BETA8? Also I am suspecting the phe problem could be on the server-side.

[Nishanthshettar]

@TikhomirovSergey thanks for looking in to it, yes I can try Java-Client 5.0.0-BETA8 since appium was converting "UIATextField" to "XCUIElementTypeTextField" to match XCUI type I did not consider upgrading. Still I suspect something to do with server only.

Today I upgraded to Xcode 8.3.2 and ran the same tests on iOS 10.3, same problem continues.

Is Accesibility set to true. if not, element won't be visible and you'll not be able to locate it as well.
