Wait for delay in a smartphone test
Pause a smartphone test for a fixed duration before the next step runs.
Use it when nothing on the screen tells you the app is ready: a backend job still running, a rate limit, an animation you can't check for.
If you are waiting for something to appear on the screen, use Verify element instead. It continues as soon as the condition is met instead of always burning the full delay.
