"Error: no such session" Webdriver-IO, Appium - appium

Question

I have setup Cucumber, Webdriver-IO, and Appium. Everything appears to be talking to each other, however I'm getting Error: no such session when trying to navigate to http://google.com.
On the Android device it opens up the Chrome browser, then closes it really fast.
webdriverio.js
//webdriverio.js
let client = WebDriverIO.remote({
desiredCapabilities: {
platformName: 'Android',
browserName: 'chrome',
deviceName: 'test',
},
host: 'localhost',
port: 4723,
waitForTimeout: 120 * 1000,
});
global.client = client;
module.exports = function() {
this.registerHandler('BeforeFeatures', function(event, done) {
client.init().call(done);
});
this.registerHandler('AfterFeatures', function(event, done) {
client.end().call(done);
});
};
env.js
// env.js
module.exports = function() {
// added because default 50000 ms was long enough
this.setDefaultTimeout(60 * 1000);
};
search_steps.js
// search_steps.js
module.exports = function() {
this.Given('I have visited Google', function (done) {
client
.url('http://google.com')
.call(done);
});
this.When('I search for {arg1:stringInDoubleQuotes}', function (arg1, done) {
// Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
client
.setValue('input[name="q"]', 'Kittens')
.call(done);
});
this.Then('I see {arg1:stringInDoubleQuotes}', function (arg1, done) {
// Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
client
.getValue('input[name="q"]').then(function(text){
expect('Kittens').to.eql(text);
})
.call(done);
});
};

The issue is chromedriver 2.21.371459 that is shipped with my version of Appium (1.3.5) for Mac. I downloaded the latest version of chromedriver and overwritten the existing one that is shipped with Appium. See the answer here Chrome opens for a second and the crashes for windows. For mac the location of the chromedriver exec shipped with Appium is. /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-android-driver/node_modules/appium-chromedriver/chromedriver/mac
