for troubleshooting by R&D.

1 General exception error. • Usually related to some kind of setup error.

by R&D.

111 report_app_info error • Error when calling the report_app_info

6 Known Limitations

6.1 Hidden UI Component Resource Identity

Facebook has developed the application with the intention to make it hard for UI automation by
removing/hiding/altering the Resource Id property for each UI Component displayed by the application.

This made it harder to identify the correct UI Component to control during testing. We need to infer or use
workarounds in the python script which normally would not be required.

6.2 Caching

The pm clear command cannot be used to clear the application cache as it will also clear the application data as
well. Clearing the application data will result in user getting logged out.

Caching causes the payload and thus throughput for subsequent tests to be lower.

There is currently no workaround.

6.3 Facebook Account Types

There are issues when using Facebook accounts created using Gmail email or the phone number itself. The UI
Components are more hidden (See Known Limitation 5.1), thus will not be supported for now. Try creating Facebook
accounts using yahoo email instead.
