Getting Text field Appium for iOS - ios

Question

I am trying to access the text field of the login page of my app in appium test case. Currently i am using "Restoration Id" to identify the text field and using it as a unique identifier.
Currently appium is not able to find the text field through "Restoration Id" and giving error

Can some one tell how can i get the text field by using the method findElementById() and passing unique id to it. How can i get that id from UITextField in storyboard and where to specify that id in story board.

Answer 1

WebElement textField = driver.findElement(By.id("<resource-id of element>"));
This line of code shall let you have an element out of your text field if you specify the id correctly.
To what I can read out of logs :
info: [debug] Id selector, 'com.myapps.myappDummyName:id/loginButton',
not found in Localizable.strings.
You are probably using incorrect id string to access the element.
Also, I hope you are not facing this : IOS Storyboards: Restoration ID just like Storyboard ID?
