I'm running Appium with Xcode 8.2.1, Appium 1.6.4(beta), and XCUITest for iOS Simulator and real devices.
I have it working on the simulator and tap actions are working (appium server command for this is:
appium -g ~/appium_server.log --log-timestamp --local-timezone --debug-log-spacing --tmp ~/tmp --default-capabilities '{"showXcodeLog": true, "automationName": "XCUITest", "cssSelectorsEnabled": true, "nativeWebTap": true, "nativeEvents": true, "autoWebView": true}'
Note the capability settings
"cssSelectorsEnabled": true, "nativeWebTap": true, "nativeEvents": true
which were required for the simulator to recognize and actualy take tap actions.
However, when I run on a real device (iPad 9.3.5), the home page is loaded as expected, but then the following pages are not -- they require tapping on the Global Navigation options to appear, so the test eventually fails (this is exactly what happened on the Simulator before I added the capabilities mentioned above).
When I review the server log, I see the following messages:
2017-02-13 09:38:07:950 - info: [debug] [MJSONWP] Calling AppiumDriver.findElement() with args: ["css selector","#m-j-access-reg","20d61c55-4c69-4e24-8bc3-daf5c323e2c1"]

Hard to believe, but it looks like XCUITest is saying it doesn't recognize CSS Selectors... Is that really true?
