Not able to identify elements on Webview using Java

The problem

We have a salesforce app built using react native for iOS and Android. The first screen that shows up on launching app is a WebView with username/password and login button. The activity of this screen is com.salesforce.androidsdk.ui.LoginActivity. Appium is able to successfully install and launch the app but is not able to sendkeys in username field or interact with any other element on the page.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.6.5
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): NA
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac 10.12.5
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 6.11.1
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 7.1.1
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator and Real device is Android 6.0.1
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

@SteffyVarghese1 upgrade to latest or downgrade to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.appium/java-client/5.0.4. Try a couple of versions and see. Also, note that for me the first page was Webview and so I had to switch context.

@jlipps @priyankshah217 @pavanbachu0604 Its working after I upgraded from java-client-5.0.0-BETA9.jar to latest.
