Answer 3

The default "strategy" of hideKeyboard(); is to tap outside the keyboard, but this can be changed to pressing a key on the keyboard instead.

See the java-client documentation (assuming you're using java-client?) for available hideKeyboard strategies: http://appium.github.io/java-client/io/appium/java_client/ios/IOSDeviceActionShortcuts.html

If your app's keyboard has for example a "Next" button to close the keyboard with, then you could use: driver.hideKeyboard("Next");
