Serenity: WebElementFacade doesn't detect the locator on mobile app - selenium

Question

I was defining the locators for both platforms using WebElementFacade and calling the defined WebElementFacade into the method.
when running the scripts, the locator defined using WebElementFacade doesn't detect on the mobile app for both platforms. Below is the code example used:
Defining locators using WebElementFacade
#AndroidBy(id = "buttonRed")
#iOSFindBy(id = "LogInButton")
private WebElementFacade signInBtn;
Method using WebElementFacade
Assert.assertEquals(signInBtn.getText(), "SIGN IN");
System.out.println(signInBtn.getText());
So at the moment to make the code work, I'm using locators directly in the method. Below is the code example:
Method using without WebElementFacade
if (isPlatformIos()) {
Assert.assertEquals(find(By.id("LogInButton")).getText(), "SIGN IN");
System.out.println(find(By.id("LogInButton")).getText());
} else {
Assert.assertEquals(find(By.id("buttonRed")).getText(), "SIGN IN");
System.out.println(find(By.id("buttonRed")).getText());
}
build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2'
}
maven {
url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-gradle-plugin:1.9.26'
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'net.serenity-bdd.aggregator'
dependencies {
testCompile(
'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-junit:1.9.27',
'net.serenity-bdd:serenity-cucumber:1.9.12',
'org.assertj:assertj-core:3.10.0'
}
On running the scripts, I don't see any specific error message but only TimeoutException from the logs.

As using the locators directly in the method, the lines of code is been increased as I feel and to reduce the line of coding for both platforms using WebElementFacade is the best practice.
Could someone help me to find out what's causing the issue for not detecting the locator using WebElementFacade, please?
Thanks in advance
Vamc

Answer 1

It is working now like the below code is the example used.
#FindAll({
#FindBy(id = "buttonRed") //Android Identifier
#FindBy(id = "LogInButton") //IOS Identifier
)}
private WebElementFacade signInBtn;
As #AndroidFindBy or #iOSFindBy doesn't work with WebElementFacade so we need to use #FindBy for both platforms with different id's as above example.
