9.4.0 release sudden failures

[Edouard-chin]

Hey guys 👋 ,

Thanks for maintaining this great gem!
We noticed sudden failures on our UI automation, the failure started as soon as the 9.4.0 version got released.

Our automation became flakky (80% of failures), all errors were related to finding elements.
Line of code looking like this for example

appium_driver.button('Done').click
appium_driver.text('Select').click

After setting the gem version back to 9.3.8 the failures stopped.

Not sure if the way we find elements is wrong but it used to work perfectly for the last couple weeks.

Here is what our CI environment uses:

• Ubuntu 16.0.4
• Appium v1.6.3
• Android sdk-tools v 25.2.3

Thanks !

Thanks for your reporting!

hm...
I've changed some logic to use xpath in #544.
I'll change to use uiautomation for appium automation name and xpath for uiautomator2.
