@content-desc is not detected - Android testing

Working on automated testing for my React Native Apps. I have created a test scenario using Appium.
I can run my test successfully on my local desktop with Android Emulator and Appium app.
I pushed my changes to gitLab and my pipeline FAILS at the below xpath

go.filter.dropdown.list.ha = xpath: (//android.view.ViewGroup[@content-desc="filterListOption"])

It doesn't detect "@content-desc".

Has someone come across this issue?? Any solutions??
