appium: Can not see elements inside WebView Element with XCUITest on simulator(with UIAutomator2 it works)

Do I have the most recent component updates?

• I use the most recent available driver/plugin and server versions

Is the component officially supported by the Appium team?

• I have verified the component repository is present under the Appium organization in GitHub

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When using ignoreUnimportantViews(false) in conjunction with enableMultiWindows(true), in my native iOS app, when I am redirected to a screen that represents a webview (app is native so no webview context available), the only element I see in the page source is an element of type XCUIElementTypeWebView, but can not see the elements inside it, when using simulator On Android I am able to see all content and elements in the webview element, when using emulator.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior was to be able to see all elements in the webview on iOS. like I am able on Android

Minimal Reproducible Example

The repository is private
