I am testing a react-native app on Android, which uses buttons from native Pressable class*. This all works in layout inspector, and Detox is able to find the button as visible.
However when I try to await element(by.id('button')).tap(), the button only gets highlighted, and not pressed properly. Same if I use .multiTap(10) instead, and same if I wait a few seconds before.
element.longPress() (and manual tap) works, but is painfully slow on Android.
Did this happen to you before? How do I address this?
Using Detox v20 and react-native v0.70
*Same happens for TouchableOpacity or TouchableHighlight, which will perform the opacity/highlight effect, but not follow through with onClick function
Turns out this might be a bug on Android API 33 (doesn't happen elsewhere). I opened an issue.
