> Hi, I’m working on the latest java client 3.3.0 and I see that I can use driver.currentActivity() only when the main driver set to AndroidDriver. As I’m testing IOS and Android in the same project, I need to use AppiumDriver. How I can still work with driver.currentActivity()? can I use somthing else? please advice. thanks

I couldn’t find any inbuilt method for iOS native app, decided to check for element in app

Regards,  
Vikram
