First and foremost, Use a customized Xpath instead of the one you are using which is extracted directly from the browser. If no customized Xpath can be constructed then try a customized Css or any other locator if possible.

Try to go through the following attempts in order (I hope you can grasp why this is):

1- If .click() still doesn’t work, then keep on changing the values of the attributes you are using to construct your customized xpath, cssSelector, or locator.

2- Use the Actions class.

3- Use JavaScript executioner

4- instead of click(), try using any of: .sendKeys(“\n”). Or .sendKeys(keys.ENTER) or .sendKeys(keys.RETURN)

I doesn't look that you are clicking active element, the xpath is //*[@id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span not correct it clicks on some span.

Use Firepath https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firepath/ to get the xpath.

To ensure that button is clickable Use isDisplayed() and isEnabled() method before clicking on "Add New Address" button, this method return boolean value.

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isDisplayed();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='ng-app']/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/a/span")).isEnabled();

Also you can verify that element is exist on page or not using below code

if(driver.findElements(byVal).size()!=0){

// Element is present.

}

hope it may helpful to identify cause of issue, why its not clickable.
