Unable to click/tap on a label or uiastatictext or button field using appium 1.6 . I was able to find element though.Tried the below code.I tried iosDriver.findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeCell[1]")).click() but result is same. I am able to read all the elements but commands to do any actions are not working. And i see the property filedetector mobilelement is null for the returned element,.

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

      tableViews = iosDriver.findElementsByClassName("XCUIElementTypeButton");
	
	
	System.out.println(iosDriver.getPageSource());
	 
	
	for (MobileElement mElement : tableViews) {
		
		if (mElement!=null  ) {
			System.out.println(mElement.getText());
			mElement.click();
			
			if( mElement.getText()==null) {
				continue;
		}
			if( !mElement.getText().contains("ScanDriverLicence")) {
				continue;
		}

        List<MobileElement>  elemetns = iosDriver.findElementsByClassName("UIAStaticText");
for (MobileElement mElement : elemetns) {
	System.out.println(mElement.getText());
	if (mElement.getText().contains("Branch108")) {
		
		String originalContext = iosDriver.getContext();
	    Point coordinate = mElement.getLocation();
	    Dimension loc = mElement.getSize();
	    int centerX = loc.getWidth() / 2 + coordinate.getX();
	    int centerY = loc.getHeight() / 2 + coordinate.getY();
	    iosDriver.context("NATIVE_APP");
	    iosDriver.tap(1, centerX, centerY, 2);
	    iosDriver.context(originalContext);
	    
	    mElement.tap(1, 1);
	    mElement.click();
	    
	    
	    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) iosDriver;
	    HashMap<String, Double> tapObject = new HashMap<String, Double>();
	    tapObject.put("x", (double) centerX);
	    tapObject.put("y", (double) centerY);
	    tapObject.put("duration", 1.0);
	    tapObject.put("touchCount", 1.0);
	    tapObject.put("tapCount", 1.0);

	    js.executeScript("mobile: tap", tapObject);
	    
	    
		//webElement.submit();
		iosDriver.tap(1, mElement, 2);
		//iosDriver.tap(2, webElement, 1);
		iosDriver.tap(1, mElement, 1);
	
		mElement.click();
		
		break;
	}
