accessibility id not found for the html elements rendered via react-native-webview in Appium Inspector

[jakhil232]

Issue - In my react native app, while trying to inspect html content rendered through react-native-webview, via Appium Inspector, I am unable to find accessibility id's for the content displayed. Though, the same html when rendered in iOS, the accessibility id's are present there. In android, I am able to get the xpath & other details, but accessibility id's are not found. Do we need to add separate props or any other setting that needs to be done in order to access the testId's?

I am using Webview component as follows -

<WebView
source={{
html,
}}
style={[webViewMarginStyle(), style.webViewOpacity]}
webviewDebuggingEnabled={true}
/>

Any extra prop required or any javascript code that needs to be injected? This is a blocker for QA team, as they are unable to proceed with automation due to absence of testIds.
