HideKeyboard Crashes Appium

[KDeeds]

I recently just upgraded to 1.2.0.7 and updated methods and interfaces in my code. Most things seem to work the same except HideKeyboard() crashes Appium whenever I try to use it. I noticed its trying to send a symbol for hiding the keyboard.

It seems I found the rootcause. The fix is here: #75
Here are some new tests.
