Can only retrieve text when searching for XPath on Appium iOS 12.4

Description

I'm trying to retrieve the text from an element on a iOS 12.4 app, using Java Client (v7.3.0) for Appium (v1.17.1), and iOS simulator.

When I search for the element using an ID, the retrieved text is empty, but when I search for the exact same element using a xPath, it retrieves the text as expected.

Driver.getDriver().findElement(By.name("foobar")).getText() = ""
Driver.getDriver().findElement(MobileBy.AccessibilityId("foobar")).getText() = ""

Driver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//XCUIElementTypeTextField[@name=\"foobar\"]")).getText() = "expectedText"

When I retrieve the hash ID of the element using the previous methods, the ID is exactly the same, so it's the same element that is been found. The logs confirm this; they are the same for the different approaches, with the expected differences on the args of the request and the text's returned value.

Also, I don't have this issue on iOS 13.4.

Has anyone came across this scenario and know why it's happening?

Environment

• Java client 7.3.0
• Appium 1.17.1
• iOS 12.4
• simulators: iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X

Start by reproducing the issue with Java client 7.3.0, Appium 1.17.1, and an iOS 12.4 simulator, then compare the ID, AccessibilityId, and XPath requests and responses in the linked Appium logs. Investigate why text differs for the same element on iOS 12.4, compare the behavior with iOS 13.4, and consider the issue done when the affected lookup methods return the expected text.
