Not able to interact with password field on iOS 17.2

[WasiqB]

Description

Cannot automate password field in iOS 17.2 app, however, when we interact with the same field manually, we are able to interact.

Environment (please complete the following information):**

• Node.js version: 18.19.0
• NPM version: 10.2.5
• Platform: iOS
• Platform version: 17.2
• Emulator/Simulator/Real Device: Simulator

Question?

Is there any setting which can be done, so we can automate password field?

@WasiqB thanks for raising the issue.

Mind sharing the test that would test the login flow?

Thanks for filing an issue, but I believe this is related to XCUITest driver. All tests were successful on my local machine on 17.2 and on Sauce with 16.2 (https://app.eu-central-1.saucelabs.com/tests/c41ee6b7269a42de863d4ddfff42acce#46)

Can you test is with older versions of Appium (drivers)?

It already happens with this script from the boilerplate. Almost 99.99% sure it also happens with Java and other languages, but also 99.99999% sure it's not related to the app. Otherwise I never would have merged the app and released it

Hmm, doing some debugging, if you run the flow fully, meaning first the login form and then the signin it works, running only the signin breaks 😢 . It's also not related to the clear value, because the addValue has the same issue.
Need to do some more debugging, maybe tonight. Not sure if this is Appium or WDIO :(

This will take more time to debug, will put this on my todo list
