Canopy.Mobile can't find any selectors on a website

[adalenthya]

Description

On a website, I tried to:

• "read" the title of the page with selector "h1"
• "write" into the location field with selector "#Location"
• "click" a search button "button.btn.btn-primary" But Canopy.Mobile throws exception that the element can't be found on the page.

Repro steps

1. Open up any browser on an Android emulator
2. Load a website (ex: https://www.commercialcafe.com/)
3. Try to Read , Click or Write any selector.

Expected behavior

Does Canopy.Mobile work only for mobile applications? I would expect to be able to use it for websites automation too.

Actual behavior

canopy.mobile.Exceptions.CanopyException was unhandled by user code Message: An exception of type 'canopy.mobile.Exceptions.CanopyException' occurred in canopy.mobile.dll but was not handled in user code Additional information: Failed to click "#Location", because it could not be found. Did you mean?: ["Boston"; "Houston"; "button"; "section"; "Austin"]

Already using Canopy for desktop website. Would've wanted to use canopy.mobile for mobile views, instead of resizing the browser to a mobile resolution. But maybe i'll reconsider this, thank you.
