switchTo window handle throwing timeout over iOS safari (12.1) for Cordova App using inApp browser

Issues/Bugs
1

I am trying to run Webdriver + Mocha Test case over a cordova app. I am triggering click event to open inapp browser. Once inapp browsers gets opened I am trying to log the count of available handles and I am getting two separate handles. Upon invoking switchTo api to second handle I am getting a timeout error and operation doesn’t succeed successfully.

Environment:

  • Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.5.1
  • Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
  • Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
  • Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 12.1
  • Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
  • Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium.app

Code To Reproduce Issue

import {Builder, By, until} from 'selenium-webdriver';

describe('Test Sample App', function() { 

    let opts = {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 4723,
        iOSDesiredCapabilities: {
            platformName: "iOS",
            platformVersion: "12.1",
            deviceName: "iPhone XR",
            app: "/Users/kmanikum/Desktop/Workspaces/cordova-plugin/apps/cs-app/HelloWorld.app",
            automationName: "Appium",
            browserName: '',
            autoWebview: true
        }
    };
    
    const serverAddress = "http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub";
    const driver = new Builder().usingServer(serverAddress).withCapabilities(opts.iOSDesiredCapabilities).build();

    beforeEach(async function() {
        console.log("Starting Test...");
        this.timeout(30000);
        //await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id("globalBody")));
        await driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.id("deviceready")));
    });

    it('example', async function() {
        console.log("My First Test Case");
        const loginButton = await driver.wait(driver.findElement(By.id("openPage")));
        await loginButton.click();

        await driver.sleep(10000);

        const allHandles = await driver.getAllWindowHandles();
        console.log(allHandles);

        await driver.switchTo().window(allHandles[1]);
    });
    afterEach(async function() {
        await driver.quit();
    });
});
