How to perform mobile actions on an app within a separate thread

Would there be any other way to run multiple Mobile keywords at the same time?

Are you concerned that Mobile.waitForElementPreset runs very slow?

Yes, there are many post about the slowness of Mobile keywords. For example,

Test execution on Mobile so slow

Hi @satish1607, How are you defining the Test Objects? Is it by xpath, type, name, etc.? Having a unique name (which comes from the accessibility id in the Xcode project) should provide the fastest way to get the element. It is likely that iOS tests are going to be slower than Android tests for a couple of reasons: iOS interactions need to go through the WebDriverAgent to access the device or simulator, which is another app that gets installed on the device. This may not be as efficient as A…

The speed of keyword largely depends on how the locator expression in TestObject is written. In many cases you can find some alternative expressions that run much faster. How to write faster locators? — That is a question to be studied case-by-case. There is no silver bullet.

Sorry, I am not experienced with Mobile testing. If you want to find out a way to make your Mobile tests run faster, you should ask Mobile testing experts (@Chris_Trevarthen and others) for advices.
