Description

#### What are you trying to achieve?
Click on a app object when using xpath to select the second element with the same text

#### What do you get instead?
When I use I.click('//*[@text="6º ano"]') it works
As I have several elements with the same text on the screen and I woul like to click on the second
I.click('(//*[@text="6º ano"])[2]') is not able to find any element

> Provide console output if related. Use `--verbose` mode for more details.

```bash
Emitted | step.passed (I wait for visible "(//*[@resource-id="...
Emitted | step.finish (I wait for visible "(//*[@resource-id="...
Emitted | step.start (I click "(//*[@text="6º ano"])[2]")

When using the appiun session to inspect. it is able to locate the object
When playing the script even making sure the page is fully loaded script is not able to locate the second instance of the object.
For this instance
I.waitForVisible('(//*[@text="Ciências"]/../..//android.widget.TextView)[2]',10);
Script is able to detect the instance
When clicking, it cant be detected
