isElementObstructedByAlertView() need update , so far , I simply return NO always .

[bearxc]

Add following into isElementObstructedByAlertView() , make sure keyboard never obstructed by alert .

if (element.elementType == XCUIElementTypeKeyboard) {
return NO;
}

There was a bug in Appium handler, which is fixed in the recent driver component (check
https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/pull/333)

Please wait for the next Appium release or execute

npm remove -g appium
npm install -g appium --no-shrinkwrap

to try it now.
