Can't find the element using id but working fine with xpath

[zaid0080]

I am trying to find one element using id=search_icon, it is giving me no element found, but when I am using this xpath=//*[@resource-id=‘search_icon’], it is working fine. What could be the possible issue here? This is a react native app.

Hi @serhatbolsu Sorry for the late reply. It is coming as id only in the appium inspecter attached the screenshot and this is android app build in react native.
