Unable To Find the PID in Web View on real devices but working fine With Emulator

The problem

I’m trying to perform the actions on webview in android Hybrid app which is built on React native. The same thing working with an emulator but when I’m running it on a real device. Appium is unable to find out the PID.

Getting Below Error:

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Failed to start Chromedriver session: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: unknown error: Failed to get PID for the following process: com.traveltriangle.traveller (process name must be specified if not equal to package name)

It also confirms the fact that the most of the devices running customized firmwares, that are too different from the stock Android OS (e.g. MiUI), are not good for automated testing.
