Detox: [ANDROID] Error performing 'single click'

[abrel]

Description

When tapping on a simple element I get "Error performing single click".
It works perfectly on iOS.
Also the button I am trying to click is plain and not supposed to be hidden by anything

await element(by.id('help')).tap();

Can you supply a project which recreates this issue ?
P.S. Detox was not tested with RN57 yet

[calcazar]

Any updates on getting detox up and running with 57?

Soon® 😄

Same issue, works great with IOS, fails on Android :( Really hoping we can get this working quickly!

Still waiting to hear if this will be resolved. We can't move forward utilizing detox for android if we can't even "click" to login to the app and perform the functions.

I'm getting the same. On IOS it works, but on android it crashes.
This is RN .57. I'm not sure if it works on .56 as we never had our tests running on android...

Here is the log output:

It's really disappointing that this is not being addressed :(

[rotemmiz]

Detox runs internally at Wix on RN57.8 successfully.
Can you provide a project that demonstrates this issue? (as requested in October).
Help us help you...

Not sure if this helps the case but I was having similar issue on android.
The visibility test for my login button was passing when the app starts:
await waitFor(element(by.id('loginButton').and(by.id('userId')).and(by.text('NEXT')))).toBeVisible().withTimeout(5000)

Then after typing the field when it was time to click loginButton it was failing and Error performing 'single click' was happening:
await element(by.id('userId')).typeText('someUserId')
await element(by.id('loginButton')).tap()

I noticed the keyboard coming up and the button was not visible anymore. Added scrolling code. For my case I scrolled down to the end to ensure the visibility of the button:
await element(by.id('loginPageScroll')).scrollTo('bottom');

And it passed.
I'm fairly new to E2E test automation. Just trying to help and I hope it does :)
