Minimal reproduction

 <node index="6" text="Let's  Shop"
             resource-id="com.androidsample.generalstore:id/btnLetsShop"
             class="android.widget.Button"
             package="com.androidsample.generalstore" content-desc=""
             checkable="false" checked="false" clickable="true"
             enabled="true" focusable="true" focused="false"
             scrollable="false" long-clickable="false"
             password="false" selected="false"
             bounds="[162,1709][1182,1844]" drawing-order="7" hint="" />
 </node>

I have an .apk file having above UI hierarchy xml

Now I am trying to access the element using

await screen.getByRole('button', { name : "Let's Shop" }).tap();

but it wasn't possible but accessible element is possible with

await screen.getByText("Let's Shop").tap();

Actual behavior

Getting below error:

LocatorError: Locator: no matching element found after 5000ms

   8 |   await screen.getByText('Enter name here').fill('tester')
   9 |   await screen.getByText('Female').tap();
> 10 |   await screen.getByRole('button', {name : "Let's  Shop"}).tap();
     |   ^
  11 | });
  12 |

Expected behavior

Element should be accessible with getByRole

Interesting bug, @krishhna123 . I'll review.
I think we just need a map in docs to explain what's each locator doing for android and for iOS.
