Why is Appium not detecting elements on the page?

To achieve this, you will need a “running” automation session. While your app is still running, launch Appium Inspector and click the Refresh button continuously until it shows the existing session. You can use cloud-based platforms such as LambdaTest to run your automation scripts on real devices.

After you have the session ID shown on the field, select that and click “Attach to Session.” A new window will open where you can inspect elements.
