What causes AccessibilityNodeInfoError?

Description

I am trying to test an activity that is essentially a "book" with a table of contents composed of multiple sections including texts, videos, and pictures. Whenever I try to browse/scroll through this book via the table of contents, Appium would give error:

io.appium.uiautomator2.common.exceptions.UiAutomator2Exception: Timed out after 10000 milliseconds waiting for root AccessibilityNodeInfo

Sometimes even after loading in the activity, the test would be unable to access any of the UI Elements and would give the same error. I've also tried to view the book via the UIAutomatorViewer and it appeared to have worked for an arbitrary book, and was unable to view other books afterwards.

Environment

• java client build version or git revision if you use some shapshot: 7.0.0
• Appium server version or git revision if you use some shapshot: 1.13.0
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Mac OS
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe:
• Mobile platform/version under test:
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device

Here are some screenshots of when I am using UIAutomatorViewer:

Start with the linked exception stacktrace and Appium logs, then compare them with the supplied Java client, Appium server, and real-device environment details. The issue provides no reproduction code or project files; done would require identifying a reproducible cause for the AccessibilityNodeInfo timeout and documenting the relevant conditions or resolution.
