Webelements don't contain text properties when it's a Web Hybrid app with ionic

We are trying to test a Web Hybrid app made with ionic

When using Appium inspector ( the result in my tests with AppiumDriver is the same ) and choosing the web context, it’s not possible to get any text from labels such the h2 in the example or the text in the input.

I also checked in the Chrome dev tools that the text is there.

If I change to the Native context, most of the labels are easy to get. But I should not work with Native context because it’s a web Hybrid app and also the structure is different in the views/<div>

Capabilities in the Appium Driver:

        caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        caps.setCapability("platformVersion", "11");
        caps.setCapability("deviceName", "emulator-5554");
        caps.setCapability("automationName", "UiAutomator2");
        caps.setCapability("udid", "emulator-5554");
        caps.setCapability("app",androidAppPath);
        caps.setCapability("fullContextList", true);
        driver = new AndroidDriver(appiumUrl, caps);

Environment

• Appium version: 1.22.0
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS 10.15.7
• Node.js version: v14.17.5
• Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android 11
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium App

I also checked the version of ChromeDriver and the version of my Chrome are similar (except for the last three of numbers)

Chome version: 83.0.4103.XXX

Am I missing something here? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

I think this is just how HTML works. Input elements don’t have a text property, they have a value attribute which corresponds to the text inside the box.
