Using selenium's WebDriverWait you could wait for the element's presence, or its visibility, or for it to be clickable. More information here: Selenium - wait until element is present, visible and interactable

from appium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

desired_caps = {
    "platformName": "Android",
    "deviceName": "emulator-5554",
    "automationName": "UiAutomator2",
    "platformVersion": "11",
    "appPackage": "com.google.android.youtube",
    "appActivity": "com.google.android.youtube.HomeActivity",
    'autoGrantPermissions': 'true',
    "newCommandTimeout": "86400"
}

driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)

# after 120 seconds, if the condition isn't validated, a timeout exception will occur

# wait for the element's presence
WebDriverWait(driver, 120).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//android.widget.Button[@resource-id="com.google.android.youtube:id/random_btn"]'))) 

# wait for the element's visiblity
# WebDriverWait(driver, 120).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '...'))) 

# wait for the element to be clickable
# WebDriverWait(driver, 120).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '...')))
