$$ and $$x are missing for Appium selectors

[kamil1014]

The problem

There are missing $$ and $$x operators for finding Appium collections of elements.
There are only $ and $x operators in SelenideAppium class.

Details

If there is other way to get collection of appium elements using Selenide please let me know.

Tell us about your environment

• Selenide-Appium Version: 6.15.0
• OS Version: Windows 10

Code To Reproduce Issue

$$(byText("text"))

@kamil1014 - For now, you can still use Selenide.$$(by)

I will create a PR to have it in SelenideAppium class as well

[amuthansakthivel]

@asolntsev we may also want to include

public SelenideAppiumElement $(WebElement element){
  //logic to return SelenideAppiumElement;
}

Also when using pagefactory, we should provide an option to use SelenideAppiumElement reference

  @AndroidFindBy(xpath = "//android.view.ViewGroup[@content-desc=\"store item\"]")
  @iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath = "//*[@name='store item text']")
  private SelenideAppiumElement products;

Thanks, came a cross the same issue.

It already works. You can declare PO fields (annotated by @AndroidFindBy / @iOSXCUITFindBy) as SelenideAppiumElement.

@kamil1014 @amuthansakthivel
May I ask WHY do you need collection of SelenideAppiumElements?
What are you going to do with such a collection?

The point of collection is to check texts/attributes of multiple elements with a single call. And it's totally possible with the current ElementsCollection. What feature are you actually missing?
