Cannot find snackbar element

The problem

I’m doing some tests, to automate some validations of the email fields, but the Android application, when submit it to the form, if I put a bad format of mail, the app launches a snackbar with the validation message.

The problem comes that I have tried all the possible selectors (accesibilty id, name, text, class etc) to validate the text inside this snackbar but in no way can I find the element.

Environment

• Appium version 1.17.1
• Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
• Node.js version 10.13.0
• Npm
• Android 9
• Real device
• Appium CLI/Appium inspector

Code To Reproduce Issue

// javascript

const wdio = require("webdriverio");
var tools = require('./helpers/email_validation');

const opts = {
  path: '/wd/hub',
  port: 4723,
  capabilities: {
    platformName: "Android",
    platformVersion: "9",
    deviceName: "Android",
    app: "somethingApp.apk",
    automationName: "UiAutomator2"
  }
};

async function main () {
    const chalk = require('chalk');
    var errorCounter = 0;
    var results_per_test = [];
    try {
      const client = await wdio.remote(opts);
      let loginLink = await client.$("//android.widget.TextView[contains(@resource-id,'labelAlreadyAcc')]");
      client.setImplicitTimeout(5000)
      await loginLink.click();
      const signup2 = await client.$("//android.widget.Button[@text='LOGIN']");
      await signup2.click();

     //Empty email
     let element = await client.$$("~Please introduce an e-mail");
     client.setImplicitTimeout(1500)

      if(element.error == undefined){ //if theres no error response
        console.log("RESULT 1: " + chalk.green('Empty email validation working'));
        results_per_test.push(chalk.green("\u2714 - Empty email validation working"));
      }else{
        console.log("RESULT 1: " + chalk.red("Check empty inputs validation not working"));
        results_per_test.push(chalk.red("\u2716 - Check if can process all input empty"));
        errorCounter++;
      }
      if(errorCounter > 0){
        console.log(chalk.red("FINAL RESULT: " + errorCounter+ " Validations not working"));
      }else{
        console.log(chalk.green("FINAL RESULT: All Validations working correctly"));
      }
      console.log('Tests Execution Summary')
      results_per_test.forEach(function(entry) {
        console.log(entry);
      });


    } catch (err) {
      console.log(err);
      console.log("RESULT: " + chalk.red('Test Not Finished Successfully'));
    }
    }

    main();

Basically when giving the submit of the form, with the empty email field, he returns a message with the text “Please enter an e-mail” inside a snackbar, so if he finds the item, I apply a validation to counter that said validation is working

But just as you see in log, appium says RESULT [] an empty array without the element.

Any suggestion am I skipping something? Or there is no support for this type of item?
