Webview/hybrid automation with multiple webviews

Issues/Bugs
1

Has anyone tried or tested this? I’ve been attempting to get it to work for some time and I always get a chromedriver redirect failure attempting to switch contexts. I decided to try a simpler test with a small app that has a single webview. It properly switches context as expected and allows automation.

The core issue may be in the fact that the app has multiple webviews. driver.contexts reveals multiple contexts. I have tried switch to them both and they always fail.

My suggestion is to try on the latest release of Android 5 (currently 5.0.1 or 5.0.2). In my experience, the newer android tends to behave better with regards to webviews.
