Support for testing system web browser (iOS) -> doesn't find web.element

[km00776]

What happened?

I'm using expo-web-browser and expo-auth-session, but for detox testing it doesn't seem to recognise the web element

#4406 <- basically same issue as this, but I can't seem to find any solutions

What was the expected behaviour?

to be able to see the web.element

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Looks like your Detox version is quite old, not having the webview support on this version.

Also, sounds like you're are you trying to interact with a web browser (expo-web-browser uses SFSafariViewController), Detox does not support interactions with in-app browsers (i.e. SFSafariViewController), only webviews (WKWebview).
