Touch not working on _UIAlertControllerActionView

[dasarijit95]

I can issue a touch from the calabash console, but this step always fails when used as a part of scenario, with the following "INFO: Embed is not available in this context. Will not embed."

Step definition:

Then(/^I wait for the alert to show up and tap Virtual Agent$/) do
  wait_for_elements_exist(["view:'_UIAlertControllerActionView' marked:'Virtual Agent'"], :timeout => Integer(5)) 
  touch("view:'_UIAlertControllerActionView' marked:'Virtual Agent'") 
end

My setup:

$ xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

$ xcodebuild -version
Xcode 8.2.1
Build version 8C1002

$ calabash-ios version
0.20.4

$ curl http://10.88.32.254:37265/version

Try using wait_for_none_animating before the touch.

Thank you for your quick response. This works fine locally and on test cloud. I wonder why checking for existence is not enough in this case.

Alerts are animated on. If a gesture happens during the animation, it is ignored.

It is common that elements are visible before animations are complete.
