The issue was fixed in my case by clicking on the nearby text label related to input element before setting the text value. I guess it is due to the input element's value can be added by scanning as well in this app.

input element view

This seems to be a know issue with appium. Here is a thread talking about it: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/10418

As for me, I fixed the issue by clicking on the element before sending to send keys to it.

Replace the

AppiumLibrary.Input Text    xpath=//XCUIElementTypeButton[@name="URL"]    https://www.google.com/

with following three lines:

AppiumLibrary.Click Element  xpath=//XCUIElementTypeOther[@name="Address"]

That seems to be the address element you can click. After you you click it, the element turns to text field. But at least as i tried it, the xpath does not get read quick enough, and the test fails unless we wait for it to become visible:

AppiumLibrary.Wait Until Element Is Visible  xpath=//XCUIElementTypeTextField[@name="URL"]

And now input the text:

AppiumLibrary.Input Text    xpath=//XCUIElementTypeTextField[@name="URL"]    https://www.google.com/

Should you have issues with the script failing to find the first element, then you might need a Wait Until Element Is Visible there as well.
