[Appium] [IOS 9.0] [Simulator iPhone 5s]
I'm automating the tests of an application which has a lot of web views, and I have this problem with clicking a date type input which supposed to invoke a Date picker.

Here is the script I'm talking about:
driver.context(webviewContextName);
WebElement expiryDate = driver.findElement(By.id("expiryDate"));
expiryDate.click();

When I debugged the script and execute the script step by step, Appium succeed in clicking the expiryDate without any visual effect (I mean the datePicker doesn't appear) and I fail on the next step which is choosing the date from the picker wheel (cause there is no date picker wheels).

I've tried:
WebElement expiryDate = driver.findElement(By.id("expiryDate"));
driver.executeScript("arguments[0].setAttribute('value','2017-09')", expiryDate);
But with out any result.

When I tried to do it on the native context, surprise, the element doesn't appear neither in Appium inspector nor in the source code of the page. her is a snippet from the source code.

     <UIAStaticText name="Date d&apos;expiration" label="Date d&apos;expiration" value="" dom="[object Object]" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="true" hint="" path="/0/0/17/1/2" x="36" y="207" width="115" height="21">
                </UIAStaticText>
                <UIAStaticText name="Cryptogramme" label="Cryptogramme" value="" dom="[object Object]" enabled="true" valid="true" visible="true" hint="" path="/0/0/17/1/3" x="196" y="207" width="102" height="21">
                </UIAStaticText>

I see the label, but I don't see the date input.

I've did the tests using the latest version of Appium (1.5.2) and Appium version 1.4.13.

I've tried in my script an explicit wait, but it doesn't change any thing.

I've tried it, and it doesn't solve the problem
