Delete key on iOS keyboard is not working about appium HOT 10 CLOSED

It could be that keyboard belongs to the springboard app. Switch to com.apple.springboard app and see if the keyboard is accessible from there.
If none from proposed options works then consider creating an issue to Apple's XCTest

from appium.

Yes, once you change the active app to sprintboard, the page source may show keys like: <XCUIElementTypeKey type=\"XCUIElementTypeKey\" name=\"delete\" label=\"delete\" enabled=\"true\" visible=\"true\" accessible=\"true\" x=\"264\" y=\"930\" width=\"79\" height=\"94\" index=\"10\"/> (which is from my real iPad device's keyboard)

Did the key in the result of page_source? I wondered if it could be interactable via Springboard if you haven't tried yet.

Could you share the appium server log as well? Filling in the bug report (if it was that) would also be helpful. Or https://discuss.appium.io/ could help with a general question

Attached are the detailed Appium logs. I am getting below error on logs.

Did is on WebView? The full appium log would help to understand the situation.

from appium.

Yes, its on WebView as the app is hybrid.

I don't think it is going to work because XCTest for iOS does not allow to send keys, but rather keystrokes.
The most reliable way to do that would be to locate the key itself as a screen element and tap it.
You may also try to simulate sending of the same keystroke that WDA does for the "clear" API: https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent/blob/53bcaa87ba45dcda433daf23631e245139599413/WebDriverAgentLib/Categories/XCUIElement%2BFBTyping.m#L179

@mykola-mokhnach I was trying to identify the the keyboard keys as a screen elements but could not able to recognize the keyboard elements as well in both native and WebView mode.

@KazuCocoa @mykola-mokhnach this worked after switching to com.apple.springboard. Thanks a ton for your help! :)
