Web Atom interaction is broken due to KReflectionUtils

During debugging with @rajdeepv we found out that the below code works fine on the version - 1.23.2 but doesn’t work on the latest one. The client code we execute is below:

      el = driver.find_element(get_view)

      method_chain = {
          webviewElement:         el.ref,
          forceJavascriptEnabled: true,
          methodChain:            [
              { name: 'withElement', atom: { name: 'findElement', locator: { using: 'ID', value: 'buy_button' } } },
          ],
      }
      driver.execute_script('mobile: webAtoms', method_chain)

we get an exception:

You can try this out with Appium 1.19.0

[KazuCocoa]

Could you try out espresso driver v1.35.1? @rajdeepv @PochtarIvan (Available via appium@beta)
