switching context to FLUTTER

See original GitHub issue

The problem

I do a driver.context("FLUTTER) and get a strange log output which shows that the context is not switched. But the flutter driver can work afterwards in flutter context.

Environment

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 2@beta27
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): n/a
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 14
Npm or Yarn package manager:
Mobile platform/version under test: iOS
Real device or emulator/simulator: emulator
Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

In the Log snippet below you can see that i do a getContexts and printing the current contexts into the log. Afterwards i change the context to FLUTTER, but the log says “switching from NATIVE to NATIVE” If i do a getContext, i get correctly “FLUTTER”
