How to find child of a element in ios? - ios

Question

I can not get child element.
I can see the childNameLabel element under childNameTV element with appium inspector
Example, I try find text of first child element;
List<WebElement> webElements = driver.findElements(By.id("childNameTV"));
webElements.get(0).findElement(By.id("childNameLabel")).getText();
Then i get this error;
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: An element could not be
located on the page using the given search parameters. (WARNING: The
server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or

Answer 1

"childNameLabel" is an attribute labeled "name," not an ID.
I suspect the following will work for you:
webElements.get(0).findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeStaticText[#name=\"childNameLabel\"]")).getText();
