Research direction
Start with the supplied HomeScreen reproduction using Appium Java Client 7.3.0, then compare PageFactory.initElements and AppiumFieldDecorator behavior with 7.2.0. The fix is complete when @AndroidFindBy resolves the native Android resource-id locator instead of falling back to the field name.
