Not able to use Webview on iOS due to timeout of no targets found

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I’m refactoring the WebdriverIO demo app and it gets the latest version of the react-native-webview module which has a fix for the deprecated UIWebview API, see also https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview/issues/819. When I use that module in the app the Webview can be selected but or throws a WebDriverError: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: No targets found, unable to communicate with device or setting of the context of the app times out

When I use my previous version of the App, see https://github.com/webdriverio/native-demo-app/releases/tag/0.2.1, I can automate the webview, but with this version

iOS-Simulator-NativeDemoApp-0.3.1.app.zip

I can’t get this working

Environment

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.14.2 and 1.15.0-beta.1
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): -
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: OSX Mojave 10.14.6 (18G95)
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v10.16.3
Npm or Yarn package manager: npm 6.9.0
Mobile platform/version under test: iOS
Real device or emulator/simulator: Sim
Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Clone this project https://github.com/webdriverio/appium-boilerplate
install all dependencies with npm install
Download the app as mentioned above and place it in a folder called apps and change this line of code https://github.com/webdriverio/appium-boilerplate/blob/master/config/wdio.ios.app.conf.js#L31 to

'appium:app': join(process.cwd(), './apps/iOS-Simulator-NativeDemoApp-0.3.1.app.zip'),

Run the test with this command

npm run ios.app -- --spec=./tests/specs/app.webview.spec.js

I’ve figured out the problem, which is target allocation, and am trying to figure out a workable solution.

As discussed, this works with 1.15.0-rc.4 on iOS 12.2, but it doesn’t work on 13.0
