Use nativeWebTap: true for webView apps

I am trying to test a webapp on iPhone Safari and in an iOS web view, using the wd.js client.
Some of the UI Elements on the page only respond to touch events.
When using the configuration option nativeWebTap: true with the iOS Simulator and mobile Safari, those elements get tapped correctly (using el.click())
When testing inside a webview the click actually stays a click and therefore does not get registered by the elements.
Is there a way to solve this?
