please give me the solution.

Answer 1

From the sounds of the error the method you are using is not implemented in appium. How are you calling it?

I am able to swipe in my iPhone (9.3.5) using xcode 8 (XCUI driver type) using the command:

driver.swipe(startx, starty, endx, endy, duration

Where the above 4 arguments are positions on the screen, and duration is the length of the swipe (make sure to use a short one as a duration that is too long will cause the iOS magnifying glass to appear)

If that doesn't work you should specify the following information:

Appium Build:

XCode Build (If applicable):

Device and OS:
