I am creating some iOS automation tests. When I call send_uia_command 

:command => "target.deactivateAppForDuration(5)"

in calabash-ios console, the app goes to background, after duration background app screen is opened and I get the following error:

  RuntimeError: uia action failed because: Input: target.deactivateAppForDuration(5)
 . Error: VerboseError: -[UIAElementNil _prepareForAction:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x17676700  deactivateAppForDuration@[native code]
   eval code
   eval@[native code]

What could be the issue?

Update: This error is returned only on iOS 9.

iOS 8.4.1 works fine.

Please see the Calabash iOS 0.16.3 release notes.

The short answer is that UIAutomation deactivateAppForDuration is broken on iOS 9.

There is a radar and we are tracking this issue here.
