Appium error

NoSuchElementError: An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters

The locator strategy (accessibility id, XPath, UiAutomator selector) didn't match anything in the current app screen.

Why this happens

The app's UI changed (different `resource-id`/accessibility label) since the locator was written
The element renders after an animation or network call that hadn't finished when the test looked for it

How to fix it

Inspect the live element tree with Appium Inspector to confirm the current locator is still correct
Add an explicit wait for the element rather than acting immediately after a screen transition
Prefer accessibility id or stable resource-id locators over XPath, which breaks on layout changes
