Hey @SaphiraNgocThuy,
Sadly, inputText on iOS is still subpar to what we would like it to be, and we're hoping to fix that in the future.

However, one thing that we found out from our work was that inputText looks to be more stable on iOS 16. Therefore, could you try uploading this flow to run on iOS 16 to see if this flakiness is fixed?

maestro cloud yourApp.app workspace --ios-version=16

Also, usually, you don't need to wait for the animation to end before inputting the text. But my guess is that you added this wait because of the flakiness, am I right? If not, could you share the reason for it?
