I tried the following code.

driver.context("WEBVIEW_1");

to switch from native app to browser.


It is very inconsistent.

Sometime its working and most of the times its not working.


I believe i don't have to enable web debugging for this..


i want to swich to web view for browser consistently

The flakiness is a known issue. Hopefully future appium versions will
be more robust.

Switching from one app to another does not work in iOS, because of the limitations of Apple's instrumentation library.
