While running my iOS automation tests using Appium, I am trying to retrieve attributes of a UI element (like `UID`, `accessibilityContainer`, `accessible`, `focused`, `frame`, `hittable`, `index`, `label`, `type`, `value`, `visible`). However, when I send a request to the endpoint `/wd/hub/session/{sessionId}/element/{elementId}/`, I receive the following error:

`The requested resource could not be found, or a request was received using an HTTP method that is not supported by the mapped resource`

Appium version: 2.4.1  
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS Sonoma  
Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 17.2  
Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
