Maestro does not recognize ids inside a WebView

[reisfernanda]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and didn't find mine.

Steps to reproduce

We are using Maestro to test a Flutter mobile app with a WebView that loads a React web app, but sometimes Maestro is not recognizing the elements by id, even if we have the id in the HTML tag for this component. This is happening with iPhone simulators. The same component id is recognized in Android emulators.

Maestro documentation says it supports WebViews on Android and iOS with no special configuration. Is there anything we are missing?

Actual results

This is the HTML tag when I inspect the web page:

And Maestro Studio is not finding the component by id in iOS. Since this component is an icon, we can't interact with the component through a label.

The same component is recognized in Android emulator (Pixel API 33):

Expected results

Maestro should be able to interact with the component through its id.

Adding to this thread. Since February 06, we are also experiencing very similar issues.
Web views tests were passing before, in February 05.

• No changes in dependencies
• no change in maestro config
• no change in CI stack
• no change in XCode build version
• no change in github actions
• no change in simulator used neither in ios version used for testing.

More over, tests are passing locally.
