BadParametersError: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {"required":["value"]} and you sent ["value",":id"]

I see the latest version doesn't work with API sendKeys, I tried with several requests as Valid locator strategies for this request: xpath, id, name, class name, -ios predicate string, accessibility id. Please see more info below:

Versions:
PHPUnit 5.7.17
Appium version: 1.6.3
iOS device: 10.2 (real device)

Client script:

<?php
class iOSWebTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
  protected $driver;
  public function test_should_search_Google() {
    $desired_caps = array(
      'browserName'         => 'Safari',
      'platformName'        => 'iOS',
      'deviceName'          => 'iPhone 5s',
      'deviceOrientation'   => 'portrait'
    );
    $SERVER_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";
    $this->driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($SERVER_URL, $desired_caps,
    $connection_timeout_in_ms = 300000,
    $request_timeout_in_ms = 300000);
    $this->driver->get("https://www.google.com");
    $this->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::name("q"))->sendKeys("Google");
    $this->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::name("btnG"))->click();
    sleep(3);
    $this->assertContains("Google", $this->driver->getTitle());
    $this->driver->quit();
  }
}

Error:

Bad parameters: BadParametersError: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {"required":["value"]} and you sent ["value",":id"]

What if you send "Google" as array of characters (use str_split)?

Hi @mykola-mokhnach I haven't tried it, but the sample scripts can run smoothly before. The idea is I want to enter some texts into a text field like Google Search. In addition, I can run passed on Android real device. Do you have any hints for it?
