Programmatic clicks and SwiftClick

[prashantpalikhe]

We are performing automated tests in the cloud using Perfecto Mobile. But, the tests fail because the programmatic clicks need to performed twice for the desired action to be performed. This is because of the ghost click prevention mechanism of SwiftClick.

1. First click goes fine. _clickedAlready is set to true
2. Second click is prevented. Because _clickedAlready is set to true. _clickedAlready is set to false
3. Third click goes fine.

Now my question is, is this ghost click prevention still necessary? Or can we remove that chunk of code. From my tests on iOS devices, that block of code is redundant. Can you perform some tests on Android devices?

Hey thanks for the report. Currently I don't have access to any Android devices, but will look into potentially removing the ghost click code, as it is – as you mention – most probably redundant by now. And, if I recall correctly, Chrome on Android no longer has a click event delay anyway.
