The problem
This is very similar to #2574. With Appium 1.8.0 I cannot getValue from an <input> field on Android (Hybrid App - it works fine on iOS). We receive no RESULT, but if I switch to the older, non-W3C calls, it works. The error from Appium seems to be "unknown command", but we already check for this value. The difference from before (#2574) is that this call seems to timeout, so I don't think we ever get to the check for unknown command.
Environment
- WebdriverIO version: 4.12.0
- Node.js version: 8.11.1
- wdio testrunner, running synchronously
- Appium 1.8.0

Here is the log with WebdriverIO 4.9.9 (uses non-W3C calls):

[14:55:57] DATA {}
After this last line, nothing happens until the test timeout. From appium.log:

I tried playing around with the utilities.js helper file, but the isUnknownCommand method already checks for "unknown command". My feeling is that this method is never actually called. I think there is a failure in waiting for the response in the RequestHandler.js file. Unfortunately, my understanding of what is going on in there is too limited for me to find a solution...
Code To Reproduce Issue
For any <input> element in an Hybrid app, just do getValue() on it.
