C#, Android 7.0, Appium v1.6.5 - Button click not working

Support
1

Hi,

I am not able to click a button on the ionic app. I am testing it on the Samsung S6 Edge device. I am not sure what’s wrong. Need help!
UIAutomator info:(Forum not letting me upload the screenshot. getting error)

index: 0
class: android.widget.Button
package: dt.buyer.application.test
content-desc: menu (I see an extra space in the uiautomator. Not sure it’s the code issue or uiautomator adds that space after the menu)
bounds: [40,144][216,272]

Appium Log:

Got command of type ACTION
[AndroidBootstrap] [BOOTSTRAP LOG] [debug] Got command action: find

I changed from AndroidElement to IWebElement and it worked couple of times and failing after that consistently for no reason. Anyone has any suggestions?
