Unable To Find Locator After Giving Permission "com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button" In Selenium Appium

Question

I I am automating application with selenium Appium Selenium later version Appium 1.9.1

Whenever application launch always permission pop up showing successfully I can click on permission using automation but after giving permission appium is not able to find elements in the application .

If I click manually in the application, for example, I click on the next button and again click on the back button then appium code is working fine.

Can anyone help me how i can run my script without doing manual interaction

Page class 

public class DriverSignUpPages {

    AndroidDriver<MobileElement> driver;
    public static final String packageName = "co.wapanda.android.beta";

    public DriverSignUpPages(WebDriver driver){
        this.driver = (AndroidDriver<MobileElement>)driver;
        PageFactory.initElements(new AppiumFieldDecorator(driver), this);
    }

    //-Storing element for pop up related access or permission 
    @AndroidFindBy(id = "com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button")
    MobileElement permAlert;

    public void allowAccessLocation() {
        if(permAlert.isDisplayed()) {
            permAlert.click();
        } else {

        }
    }

    //-Store signUp locator and performed click action 
    @AndroidFindBy(id = packageName+":id/btn_signup")
    MobileElement signUpButton;

    public void clickOnSignUpButton() {
        signUpButton.click();
    }

    //-Store driversignup locator value and performed click action
    @AndroidFindBy(id = packageName+":id/btn_driver")
    MobileElement driverSignUp;

    public void clickOnDriverSignUp() {
        driverSignUp.click();
    }

Test case class 

public class ValidateDriverProcess {

    AppLaunch applaunch;
    DriverSignUpPages dprocess;
    AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver;

    @BeforeMethod
    public void launchApplication( ) {
        applaunch = new AppLaunch();
        driver = (AppiumDriver<MobileElement>) applaunch.launchApplication();
    }

     @Test
    public void validateDriverSignupProcess() {
        try {
         DriverSignUpPages dprocess = new DriverSignUpPages(driver);
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.allowAccessLocation();
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.clickOnSignUpButton();
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.clickOnDriverSignUp();
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.enterSignUpDetail("test@abc.com", "9898989891", "123456");
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.enterFirstAndLastNameInSignUp("Raj", "");
         Thread.sleep(5000);
         dprocess.enterVerificationCode("757575");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void closeApplication() {
        driver.quit();
    }


}

In appium log error showing

[AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Returning result
{"status":7,"value":"No element found"}

not able to find this line 
//-Store signUp locator and performed click action 
 @AndroidFindBy(id = packageName+":id/btn_signup")
 MobileElement signUpButton;

Answer 1

There is an open issue with appium: After dismissing the alert, appium is no longer detecting any of the fields.

Workarounds :

You can put the app in the background and launch again. driver.runAppInBackground(5);

OR

Get coordinates (x, y) of any element on screen before opening dialog interact with dialog (e.g. select elements, close etc.) tap by coordinates (x, y) after closing dialog: new TouchAction(driver).tap(x, y).perform();
