Can't click on element in XCUIElementTypeWebView

[talsurizon]

Hi,
I'm automating app on real iOS device (version 10.0),.
In the app there is an option to sign in with facebook, and when clicking on this option it opens web view (XCUIElementTypeWebView). while trying to click on an element in this window, i get the error:
"Failed to find scrollable visible parent with 2 visible children".
It is important to say that i have a condition that only if it finds the element, click on in, and it goes inside this condition - meaning it CAN find the element, but CAN'T click on it.
i'm using Appium 1.6.1, MacOS X El Capitan 10.11.6, Xcode 8.1.

Please help.
Thanks.

Are you switching to the right context?

What do you mean?
Apparently not, because I don't know how to do this.

You have to switch from the NATIVE_APP context to a WEBVIEW context.
Then you can handle the webview elements, and switch back to native_app after that.

Set<String> contextNames = driver.getContextHandles();
for (String contextName : contextNames) {
    if (contextName.contains("WEBVIEW")){
    	driver.context(contextName);
    }
}

Thanks,
when i put your code in (after reaching to web view window), the contextNames contained only "NATIVE_APP",
why?
(it is for sure in web view...)

I have no idea, sry.
I am also not sure if your problem is related to (not) switching contexts.

It is just, that I had quite a few problems with the context before interacting with webviews
