I am facing an issue with IOS safari , appium, automating the mobile web browser.  
On Login page of my application sendkeys is working fine for IOS Safari

On certain fields the sendkeys/setText nothing is not working - it is not entering any text in the field - locator is correct - same is working on android chrome browser.

**Scenario - Next button gets enabled only when the age field has value.**

I tried with javascript document.getElementById - set value and arguments[0].value=9 --\> it sets the value in the age field but then the next button doesnt get enabled. (I can see the value in the age field entered)

But when I manually do it or do it on Android Chrome - it works fine.

Can you please help me.
