How do I proceed with hybrid app automation using Appium after launching the app on an emulator?

I’m trying to implement hybrid app automation using Appium for a PhoneGap-based Android app.

I’ve managed to install the .apk and launch it on the emulator using a Node server. However, I’m now stuck on how to interact with and locate elements within the app for assertions.

Currently, I’m using a Python test script, but I’m open to switching languages if there are better-documented solutions.

Appium’s official documentation doesn’t seem to provide enough guidance on commands or workflows for hybrid apps.

What are the next steps I should take to inspect elements and write meaningful tests in this setup?
