We are automating an app in IOS. While performing tap operations on few buttons the instruments are getting crashed and app is getting closed unexpectedly. Please find the error log below:

We are automating the app in a real device IPOD. The details of my machine are:
Appium: 1.3.1
IOS: 10.10

Observation: The same tap operation is working fine on IPAD. We are facing this issue in IPOD only.

Please report this on GitHub so we can fix. There are a number of problems related to iOS buttons that the devs are working on resolving. If this doesn’t get reported on the issue tracker though then it won’t be addressed.
