iOS safari node example fails on emulator - hangs on apple.com

Issues/Bugs
1

Hi!
Trying to run the (very) simple node.js example on iOS emulator.
I’m using:

exports.ios82 = {
    browserName: 'Safari',
    'appium-version': '1.3',
    platformName: 'iOS',
    platformVersion: '8.2',
    deviceName: 'iPhone 5',
    app: undefined
};

The test is:

it("should get the url", function () {
        return driver
            .get('https://www.google.com')
            .sleep(1000)
            .waitForElementByName('q', 5000)
            .sendKeys('sauce labs')
            .sendKeys(wd.SPECIAL_KEYS.Return)
            .sleep(1000);
    });

But when I run it, it launches the safari browser, then immediately clicks on the apple.com thumbnail from the start tab, goes to apple.com and hangs there.

Please help,
Thanks!
