Appium loop forever at "findElement" on ios 13.4.1

See original GitHub issue

The problem

In our testrun, we need to find an html element on Safari for a number of times with “findElement”. It goes into endless loop after calling this function for 14 times. *update: not 14 times. but after the testrun has been executed for 5minutes.

Environment

  • Appium version: 1.17.1
  • Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): last beta version which solved extra time wait problem on iOS
  • Real device or emulator/simulator: real iPhone 7 with ios13.4.1
  • Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: appium.app
  • WebDriverAgent using: v2.16.1

I think I am going to close this issue, because after more testing on iphone 7, 2019 iPad and iPhone X with 13.5. I found that the website I am testing, the browser will crash with message “A problem repeatedly occurred safari …” after numbers of refresh. and I found that the memory usage at the moment of crash happen was grown to 1.74G.
I can reproduce this on iPhone7 and iPad, but not iPhone X

so I am thinking it’s more with safari issue rather to Appium.
