Change xpath to

//a[contains(.,'Continue using')]

@mykola-mokhnach this xpath does work with arc.
I could find the element and click on it.

Only with java client it's not working. If you see appium logs, there is no xpath usage at all.
I'm not sure why name and id are used and no xpath

@mykola-mokhnach I've updated ticket with Eclipse screen shot, only html content is being used and not the native content. please clarify

My bad for Browser automation, I should use @findby and not @AndroidFindBy

Found my mistake through #52 (comment) and https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/master/docs/Page-objects.md
