wdio touchPerform is deprecated. You have to use action instead. https://webdriver.io/docs/api/browser/action/
I was having the same issue with this code.

driver.touchPerform([
      {
        action: 'press',
        options: {
          x: ini_x,
          y: ini_y,
        },
      },
      {
        action: 'wait',
        options: {
          ms: 100,
        },
      },
      {
        action: 'moveTo',
        options: {
          x: ini_x,
          y: y,
        },
      },
      {
        action: 'release',
        options: {},
      },
    ]);

So I had to replace it with this:

driver.action('pointer', {
        parameters: { pointerType: 'touch' }
      })
      .move({ x: ini_x, y: ini_y })
      .down()
      .pause(100)
      .move({ duration: 500, x: ini_x, y: y })
      .up()
      .perform();

Btw I'm using wdio + appium + uiautomator2

Got the same issue. Tried with webdriver 8 and 9. @jprodriguez-sw yeah that works, but we are not doing a touchPerform action. We are doing a tap action in Codecept. At least updating the documentation that tap action is not supported anymore would save me some time...

[MaksimPryvolnev]

driver.action('pointer', {
parameters: { pointerType: 'touch' }
})
.move({ x: ini_x, y: ini_y })
.down()
.pause(100)
.move({ duration: 500, x: ini_x, y: y })
.up()
.perform();

It works for me, it made my day

@kobenguyent Not sure it's correct that this bug is closed because #5035 is still open.

Anybody if you have this issue while using WebDriverIO 9.x, use this workaround:

Patch your Appium.js: Replace return this.browser.touchPerform(actions) by return this.browser.performActions(actions) in

CodeceptJS/lib/helper/Appium.js

Lines 1360 to 1363 in ce16e92

	async touchPerform(actions) {
	onlyForApps.call(this)
	return this.browser.touchPerform(actions)
	}

and use the new parameters for performActions() in tests, e.g.

        I.touchPerform([
            {
                type: "pointer",
                id: "finger1",
                parameters: { pointerType: "touch" },
                actions: [
                    { type: "pointerMove", duration: 0, x: 1248, y: 480 }, // A middle of the 1st option
                    { type: "pointerDown", button: 0 },
                    { type: "pause", duration: 1000 },
                    { type: "pointerMove", duration: 2000, x: 1248, y: 580 }, // A middle of the 2nd option
                    { type: "pointerUp", button: 0 },
                ],
            },
        ]);

This is how it works for me.
