Unable to check focused state of element.

[grokys]

In Selenium, the recommended way to check if an element is focused is to use:

element.equals(driver.switchTo().activeElement());

However this does not work using the appium-mac2-driver as it appears that it's not possible to compare two elements for equality in appium:

• https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/9962

Is there a way of doing this currently? If not:

• Would it make sense to expose the focused state as an attribute?
• Should there be a way of comparing elements on the server?

https://github.com/appium/appium-mac2-driver/pull/145 should do the job

Wow, thank you! I didn't expect a reply so quickly, never mind a PR ;) I will get the driver building locally and try this out.
