The actual tap action occurs so a log may not be very helpful. The problem is that the tap is not treated as a real gesture and this is likely due to the preventative measures that Apple has set to prevent video autostart on an iOS device. Is their any way to potentially bypass this with Appium for iOS? With Android Chrome we were able to avoid this particular issue with the \"disable-gesture-requirement-for-media-playback\" flag. \r\n\r\nI also do not face this issue on an iOS simulator. With the simulator I was able to set the nativeWebTap capability to true in order to get the tap action to work properly, but I was hoping we could potentially run tests on a real device as well as the simulator. Thanks in advance for any feedback. \r\n\r\n"}}
