Hi,

 

I would create Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/message/ form.

Documentation for the "FindElementByXPath Method (Mobile Objects)" clearly states that "

    Thank you Alex, I have tried a "work arround" and "WaitElementByXpath" does return the expected EmptyObject with .Exists set to false.  I will use this method instead.

    In order to help others via documentation, I will also open a ticket.
