The identifier here contains text from various RSS feeds that change every time I run the test.
How do I:
Select by index from otherElements or some other criteria
await that element.

Answer 1

the answer was this:
func testClicksOnMenu() {
let app = XCUIApplication();
let containsMenu = NSPredicate(format: "label contains[c] %#", "Menu");
let other = app.otherElements.containing(containsMenu).staticTexts["Menu"];
let exists = other.waitForExistence(timeout: 10);
XCTAssertTrue(exists, "Expected Menu to Exist");
other.tap();
}
basically you just need a matcher for the otherElements it actually returns 11 elements that match name contains Menu but the there is only one accesibilityId for Menu for staticText. Tests also run fairly quick and stable.
