## XCUITest
- Over Appium1.6.0 provides `XCUITest` automation name based on WebDriverAgent.

## find elements
- supported elements by find_element is:
    - [appium-xcuitest-driver](https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/lib/commands/find.js#L17)
    - [WebDriverAgent](https://github.com/facebook/WebDriverAgent/blob/8346199212bffceab24192e81bc0118d65132466/WebDriverAgentLib/Commands/FBFindElementCommands.m#L111)

### with except for XPath
#### examples
- [button_class](https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/element/button.rb#L8), [static_text_class](https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/element/text.rb#L8), [text_field_class](https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/element/textfield.rb#L10) and [secure_text_field_class](https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/master/lib/appium_lib/ios/element/textfield.rb#L15) provide class name.
    - If `automationName` is `Appium`, then they provide `UIAxxxx`
    - If `automationName` is `XCUITest`, then they provide `XCUIElementTypexxx`

```ruby
find_element(:class, button_class) # Return a element of XCUIElementTypeButton for XCUITest
```

- [tag/s](https://github.com/appium/ruby_lib/blob/ac03116756a72fbd624fa32ea886123b955d7089/lib/appium_lib/android/helper.rb#L238) is alias of `find_element :class, element`

- `accessibility_id`

```ruby
find_element(:accessibility_id, element) # Return a element which has accessibilityIdentifier, `element`.
```

### with XPath
- It is better to avoid XPath strategy.
    - https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/v1.6.2/docs/en/advanced-concepts/migrating-to-xcuitest.md#xpath-locator-strategy
        - > Try not to use XPath locators unless there is absolutely no other alternatives. In general, xpath locators might be times slower, than other types of locators like accessibility id, class name and predicate (up to 100 times slower in some special cases). They are so slow, because xpath location is not natively supported by Apple's XCTest framework.
    - Improved performance a bit
        - https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/6842
        - https://github.com/facebook/WebDriverAgent/issues/306
- XPath in WebDriverAgent
    - https://github.com/facebook/WebDriverAgent/blob/2158a8d0f305549532f1338fe1e4628cfbd53cd9/WebDriverAgentLib/Categories/XCElementSnapshot%2BFBHelpers.m#L57

#### examples
- `button/s(value)`, `textfield/s(value)`, `text/s(value)` uses XPath in their method. So, these methods are slower than other find_element directly.

```ruby
button(value) # Return a XCUIElementTypeButton element which has `value` text.
textfield(value) # Return a XCUIElementTypeSecureTextField or XCUIElementTypeTextField element which has `value` text.
text(value) # Return a XCUIElementTypeStaticText element which has `value` text.
```

## Other actions
Basically, other actions such as `type` is compatible with `automationName = Appium`.
