Cannot install app using Saucelabs storage

I am running tests on Saucelabs with webdriver.io using Appium 2.0. I use driver.removeApp, installApp and activateApp to reinstall the app. This works correctly with Simulators but installApp fails when running on a real device:

unknown error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: The protocol ‘storage:’ used in ‘storage:0498f331-5d02-4f78-ac83-3772bbc3f0d7’ is not supported. Only http: and https: protocols are supported

Is there a way to reinstall or somehow reset the app to the initial installed state while referencing the app that is already in Saucelabs storage?
