I’m almost at lost in here. Currently we’re having issues locating the elements using Appium (and Appium Inspector) in our Android app. Some content description are not showing as accessibility ID and it’s because we are already using Jetpack Compose. I currently have this as the desired capabilities but I’m not sure how to tailor this based on what I need. From what I understood, we only need to change the automationName to espresso but I keep on encountering the same error over and over again. I have Gradle installed already. I’m using MBP M1 chip. From other sources they mentioned we have to tailor appium:espressoBuildConfig based on build.gradle ? Any tips on doing that?

I tried to follow this article but I’m very new to Appium with Espresso and I only see discussion in Youtube than actual Appium with Espresso driver setup. https://medium.com/bumble-tech/automating-android-jetpack-compose-using-appium-edb760fe79b9
