ios page with scroll view make find element time much more

Hi, master, I have 3 problems for use appium, please help me.

1. Page with animation will slow down the find element action. Even use waitForIdleTimeout=0, this is obviously in Android. Is any other action to reduce this.
2. I wan’t to confirm one thing first. I find android only has two types of find element response: exist or not, but ios has 3 types: exist, not exist, and exist but not display. So I guess the android only snapshot the element on current screen, but ios snapshot the element out of current screen. So I want to known if we can use the location field in the response of find element in ios platform, because it can speed up the find action for one element.
3. Base on problem 2, I find when one page has a scroll view for paging, the ios will auto scroll the page when snapshot the page source. This will lead to 3 problems, 1. cost much more time (in our case 0.5s->7s and ) to find the element. 2. this will leave a white screen on the page. 3. some action like click will loss as the snapshot time is much more. This problems make much trouble for us. If we have options to resolve it? such as we only want get the element on current screen but not the current page.

@kangqf I’m not sure that the link is related, I believe that the issue in that thread is related to arbitrary cells being loaded unnecessarily, whether in our case all of the cells are loaded during an accessibility snapshot request by the XCTest framework.

In any case given the behavior of Apple’s testing framework relating to tables I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done from the Appium side of things regarding this matter.
