sendKeys not working using Appium automation for Hybrid app

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,
I need some help regarding Hybrid app (developed using ionic v3 framework) automation using Appium (v 1.9.0).
I am not able to sendKeys to the text box of User Name field.
I have used “driver.sendKeys(“abc”);” and it throws error as “Can not focus element”.
I am able to use driver.findElement(By.id(“userName”)).click(); successfully.

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks,
Yusuf

Hi, Actually the xpath was wrongly written by me. Have written it correctly and it worked.
Thanks

But using xpath is not a reliable option right? because xpath varies for each of the device ?
