Appium TouchActions(driver).singleTap(element).perform() Method threw 'org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException' exception.

The problem

We are trying to perform Single Tap with Android Hybrid App not working with 1.10 Appium release. But, similar action is working with 1.7.2 Appium release.

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision): 1.10
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 1.7.2
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Yes
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): No
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 8.0.0
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium.app
• Selenium version : 3.141.59
• Please see POM below for all dependencies.

Details

When-ever we perform single tap in hybrid app with Appium version 1.10, we are getting error "Method threw 'org.openqa.selenium.UnsupportedCommandException' exception.". But, similar SingleTap function works with Appium version 1.7.2.

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the supplied Java example with Appium 1.10 and compare the TouchActions.singleTap path with 1.7.2; done means identifying and covering the regression so singleTap works for the described Android hybrid-app case.
