title: No Chromedriver found that can automate Chrome '53.0.2785'
body: <p>Problem: I am trying to run appium automation on android emulator , the app launches but errors out saying No chromedriver found.</p>
  
  <p>I was able to run earlier, like last month and all. But now it thorws me an error, probably because of some update either to appium or the chromedriver or the android.</p>
  
  <p>Appium version - 1.8.1
  OS : Mac
  Platform : Android</p>
  
  <p>Tried verious options like , downgrading the appium ver, changing the chromedriver version to lower ones. Various post suggestion, none of them has a clear and proper thing to workaround</p>
