In Appium-land, get element by name should really be thought of like get element by ID---names are taken to be unique since they are unique labels given to UI elements by the developer inside xcode. thus it doesn't make sense to get multiple elements by name. but:
- I'm not sure why we get by "name" rather than "ID" in this case. @sourishkrout you worked on this, any thoughts?
- Even if this is the way things have to stay, it seems like "name" is confusing since it doesn't imply uniqueness when that is what we really want it to mean.

It does. I have multiple Sign In
buttons and I want to click the second one. I had to implement it like this. Appium finds the sign in button on the background window in addition to the foreground.

@jlipps: that's not quite right. The accessibility label doesn't have to be unique at all. That's the reason I choose not to use the get element by ID variant of element discovery form the WDJP spec.
It's even a little bit more messy. Apple choose to use the caption (e.g.) to pre-populate the element's name() but will overwrite it with the accessibility label if set in xcode.
I'm currently working on the get elements by name implementation. Stay tuned. Will also invest some time today to document all this.
