Appium Mac2 driver lose focus when user open dropdown button

[LykashevichAndrei]

Hello Colleagues

I need to perform a small setup for my tests (this setup should be performed exactly by clicking on browser buttons)

I am using Appium + Mac2Driver

The issue is when i click on chrome languages dropdown menu button appium lose focus on Chrome App and show me XML markdown from my system and not chrome

Example script
from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy

For W3C actions

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.actions import interaction
from selenium.webdriver.common.actions.action_builder import ActionBuilder
from selenium.webdriver.common.actions.pointer_input import PointerInput

caps = {}
caps["appium:platformName"] = "Mac"
caps["appium:automationName"] = "Mac2"
caps["appium:bundleId"] = "com.google.Chrome"
caps["appium:newCommandTimeout"] = 3600
caps["appium:connectHardwareKeyboard"] = "true"
caps["appium:noReset"] = True
caps["appium:skipAppKill"] = True

driver = webdriver.Remote("http://127.0.0.1:4723", caps)

el1 = driver.find_element(by=AppiumBy.XPATH, value="//XCUIElementTypePopUpButton[@value="English"]")
el1.click()

and now i see that button is clicked on the UI

But on the XML markdown i can not see elements from chrome at all

Only system buttons and controls.

Appreciate your assistance here

  findout that this issue is actual even for some modals that are not attached to main screen.

Situation: in the application i have dialog with some confirmation modals, this modals are not attached to dialog, but to the main app window.
And mac2 driver did not see elements on the main app window, only on dialog
please see below screenshots

i had tried it with
useDefaultUiInterruptionsHandling: false, but unfortunately, that option did not resolve problem

Just a small note how we resolve this issue.

on front we hit focus on this highest modal and all elements become visible.
