[iOS 13 Beta] Unable to switch context to webview as /contexts call returns only native view when the app is on SafariViewController

The problem

I am working on a hybrid app where I need to switch the context from Native view to WebView when the app opens up a SafariViewController, but for the /contexts call, I am getting this response. The issue is ONLY there for iOS 13 Beta devices. This is working FINE in iOS 12 devices

{ “status”: 0, “value”: [ “NATIVE_APP” ], “sessionId”: “980c3541-68ec-419e-9475-345c5547d5e7” }

This is most likely a problem with ios-webkit-debug-proxy. They are still working on iOS 13 support (see https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy/pull/317).

Soon you should be able to try our beta of support for real device webviews without using iwdp.

You can try running the latest Appium beta (by running npm uninstall -g appium && npm install -g appium@beta). In this, ios-webkit-debug-proxy should not be necessary.
