Description
Description
After adding testID, the new name attribute does not appear on the iOS platform, thanks to which I could use this element in my e2e tests. On the Android platform, this testID is visible as a resource-id attribute.
For example, in the Button component, after adding testID, the name attribute appears on the iOS platform, and for the Android platform, testID is visible as the resource-id attribute.
A screenshot from the Appium inspector tool, where all the attributes of the hidden element are visible (missing testID for iOS platform):

Research direction
Start with StatusBarExample.js and the linked StatusBar component change, then reproduce the hidden-element case in the RNtester app with Appium Inspector. Compare the iOS accessibility attributes with the Android resource-id behavior; done means testID produces the expected iOS name attribute for the hidden StatusBar element.
