The findElementFromElement() function is executed unexpectedly on iOS sumulator (NoSuchElementError)

Issues/Bugs
1

Hello there, I run into a problem while executing my tests on iOS simulator.
The findElementFromElement() function executed instead of findElement().
React-native 0.57.5
Appium 1.12.1
webdriverio 4.14.0
Any suggestion here?
Here is my iOS log:

The same code is working on android well.

Hi @Maksim_Isaev, I am running in to this issue. May I know if you found a solution for this? Thanks

Hey @babraham! Yep, I’ve found it.
There was a problem when I was tryig to combine the old version of webdriverio (4 version) with the newest version of wdio libraries (for i. wdio-local-runner or wdio-cucumber-framework). After I’ve changed whole of my wdio libraries to 4 version the problem has gone.
