atIndex() has no effect over getAttributes()

What happened?

The idiomatic way of getting the attributes of a specific element (e.g. at index 1) from a matching list is:

const matches = await element(by.type('android.widget.TextView')).getAttributes());
const element = matches[1];

But the following technique is also valid, technically:

const element = await element(by.type('android.widget.TextView')).atIndex(1).getAttributes();

Seems the latter works on Android, but not iOS. Instead, atIndex() is ignored and the entire list of elements is returned.

What was the expected behaviour?

The API on iOS should behave the same way as on Android.

Was it tested on latest Detox?

[X] I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

[ ] I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.
