is there any news on this?

[d4vidi]

Sorry, no. We don't have the capacity I'm afraid.

[DenysMoro]

It will be very nice to have it for Android as well

Getting TypeError: element(...).getAttributes is not a function when running await element(by.id('<elementId>')).getAttributes() on Android in 18.14.0. Which differs from the documentation. Looking at the PR that closed this issue, it doesn't look like the types were updated to support this feature on Android.

[d4vidi]

Indeed, it is missing from the types list.
Please apply a // @ts-ignore for now.

In Detox 18.14.0 this issue is seen in android : Test Failed: com.google.android.material.slider.Slider , when used the function getAttributes(). Anyone faced similar issue ?

[d4vidi]

@sandeep-bastola could you please submit an android bug with all the details?

The documentation still says "iOS only". Could the documentation be updated? Thanks!
