Enhanced Page object model.

What does this entail?

We’ve been thinking of changing our page objects to static methods instead of using @iOSFindBy and declaring a bunch of objects at the top of each Page Object class.

I guess use TouchAction class…

[SergeyTichomirov]

Also there is some feature which may help you to develop you own library of touch actions that will be suitable to your project. It is similar to ExpectedConditions/ExpectedConditions of Selenium
