Description
Description
Hi. I have an app that has password elements (EditText widget) and I noticed that on Android 6, the text property is returning empty even when we type something on it or when it comes with placeholder. On Android 8 and 11 it works, that is, the text returns the correct value or the place holder when empty
Environment
Java 14
Appium client 7.5.1
Appium server 1.21.0
Android emulator running Android 6.0 image (Google APIs)
macOS Big Sur
Details
Code To Reproduce Issue
1 - Load the attached .app file to an Android 6.0 image
2 - Start this server
3 - In the app, type the URL http://10.0.2.2:8080/textinput to get to the screen

Research direction
Start by loading the attached app-debug.apk on an Android 6.0 emulator, starting the bff-server, and opening http://10.0.2.2:8080/textinput. Reproduce the password EditText behavior and compare its text value with Android 8 or 11. Done means the text and placeholder values are returned correctly on Android 6 as well.
