Hi Alex! Thanks for your response.
I've attached a screen shot, and talked to one of the dev's. He's informed me that because they tried to make iOS and Android as similar as possible, the flyout menu is a web view. I suspect this is the majority of my problem.
I noticed something weird this morning when I was playing around with my device. Before I started recording (after I hooked up my device, but before I started recording a test) - I was able to find different objects on the menu. After I tried recoring the test, and having test complete not recoginze the flyout menu in my steps is when I could no longer find any of the different areas using the object spy.
Thanks again for your continued support!
