snapshotMaxDepth value over 62 fails on certain pages

[shreynolds3]

Issue: Receiving 'Stale element reference' message when attempting to load screenshot using Appium Inspector. The issue only occurs on this screen when snapshotMaxDepth value is over 62. If the value is 62 or under, the snapshot loads however I need to be able to use a higher value to access deeply nested elements.

NOTE: If I move the page to a level that is not so deeply nested, using a value over 62 works just fine (Tested up to 100). It appears the issue is related to how deeply nested the page exists.

I noticed in the source code for WDA, there is a comment in the XCUIElement+FBSCrolling.m file that states "Sometimes, attempting to grab the parent snapshot of the target cell after scrolling is complete causes a stale element reference exception.
" Not sure if this is relevant to this issue or not.
