3  it('should login successfully', async () => {
4    await device.reloadReactNative();
5    
6    await element(by.id('email')).typeText('john@example.com');
7    await element(by.id('password')).typeText('123456');
8    await element(by.text('Login')).tap();
9      
10    await expect(element(by.text('Welcome'))).toBeVisible();
11    await expect(element(by.id('email'))).toNotExist();
12  });
13  
14});
