Description
Description
After upgrading Xcode to version 11, appium is not returning element text through getText() or getAttribute(value)/getAttribute(label).
When checked the page source output, the xml has values for all the attributes.
Is it possible to make java client to getText() or getAttribute() using getPageSource() output instead of using XCUITest-WebDriverAgent server calls?

Research direction
Start by reading the Java client entry points for getText(), getAttribute(), and getPageSource(), then reproduce the post-Xcode 11 behavior described in the issue. No files or tests are named; done would mean the requested element text and attribute values can be obtained from page-source output instead of the XCUITest-WebDriverAgent calls.
