Appium, Python client library: set_value() VS send_keys()

[liwa...@gmail.com]

Hi, I was trying to use send_keys() to input a value in an email recipient field, my app will get crashed. 

Log from appium server:

info: [INST] 2014-06-03 00:49:52 +0000 Fail: The target application appears to have died

…

Log from simulator system log:

<Error>: HID: The 'Rate Controlled' connection 'ScriptAgent' access to protected services is denied

When I looked at the Appium inspector, I could see if I manually type in the email, that filed's value attribute will get changed to the one I typed in. So I'm thinking maybe I should use the new method in Python client library - set_value()?

Can anyone tell me the difference between set_value() VS send_keys()? Thanks!

send_keys() uses the keyboard to input the text. set_value() only works on iOS and sets the value without using the keyboard.
