Question

This is my case:

let passwordSecureTextField = app.secureTextFields[\"password\"]
passwordSecureTextField.tap()
passwordSecureTextField.typeText(\"wrong_pass         


        

Answer 1

Another answer, but for us the problem was the view was too close to another view that a Gesture recognizer on it. We found we needed the view to be at least 20 pixels away (in our case below). Literally 15 didn't work and 20 or more did. This is strange I'll admit, but we had some UITextViews that were working and some that were not and all were under the same parent and identical other positioning (and variable names of course). The keyboard on or off or whatever made no difference. Accessibility showed the fields. We restarted our computers. We did clean builds. Fresh source checkouts.
