Double tap in IOS Simulator Not working

Question

I am trying to double tap an element in IOS Simulator using appium but unable to do so.

Methods tried:

action.tap(x=xx, y=yy, count=1).release().perform() 

2 times in a row,but it seems there is a 2 second gap which in real world would not be a double tap

element.click 

same problem as above

action.press(x=xx, y=yy).wait(500).release().perform().press(x=0, y=0).wait(500).perform() 

no result

action.tap(x=xx, y=yy, count=2).release().perform()

no result.

Is there any thing else i can try or any other method which works on ios.

@Domestus any inputs????????? – Hire

I call in a similar way the first method you listed, its not as fast as double tap, but its less than one second delay Appium::TouchAction.new.tap(x: xx, y: yy, count: 2).perform .tap dont need release, only press need it – Tuppence

@Tuppence u call tap 2 times?on real device or simulator? i am on simulator and in logs it shows 2 seconds gap!!! – Hire

I use it on real devices, never tried on simulator – Tuppence

@Tuppence can you try on simulator and see if it works for you....there 50 bounty on offer :) – Hire

try this method like: yourdriver.tap(2, elem, 400) ... i think this would work. this method is not action method. – Truth

Answer 2

You should do both of the press commands before calling perform():

action.press(x=xx, y=yy).release().wait(500).press(x=xx, y=yy).release().perform()
