I am facing the issue : Returned value cannot be converted to WebElement.
I am using BrowserStack as a cloud platform.

My appium code : 

```
package root;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.ios.IOSDriver;

public class test123 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException
    {
        String userName="brenda467";
        String accessKey="adfadfadfadf";
        DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();      

        caps.setCapability("browserstack.user", userName);
        caps.setCapability("browserstack.key", accessKey);

        caps.setCapability("platform","iOS");             
        //caps.setCapability("platformName","iOS");           

        caps.setCapability("deviceName","iPhone 7");       
        caps.setCapability("os_version","10.3");    
        caps.setCapability("app","bs://asfasdfasfasdfasfa");                    
        caps.setCapability("browserstack.debug",true);
        caps.setCapability("automationName","XCUITest");
        //caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, "60");
        caps.setCapability("noReset", true);        

        AppiumDriver driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://hub.browserstack.com/wd/hub/"), caps);
        Thread.sleep(900);
        driver.findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeOther[@name='LOG IN']")).click();

    }

}

```

Console output :
