Appium does not show webview context, it only showing native app context. How to get webview context?

Question

I'm trying to get the available application context and want to switch to the webview context but appium getting only Navive App.

Also application is WebView enabled.

Appium version: 1.10.1
ChromeDriver version: 2.44
Desktop OS/version: Windows 10
Node.js version: 10.14.2
Package manager:Npm
Mobile platform/version: Android/8.1.0
Real device or emulator/simulator:google pixel 2 emulator

Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe:Tried with both

    public void webView() {
           try {
                Set<String> context = driver.getContextHandles();

                for(String cont: context) {
                    System.out.println("Available Context : " + cont);
                    if(cont.contains("WEBVIEW")) {
                       driver.context(cont);
                       System.out.println("current context :"+cont);
                    } else {
                       System.out.println("Opps");
                    }
                }
           } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
           }
    }

I expect the output as Native App and WebView of application will be get but the actual output is only getting Native App.

Please ask your dev to set setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled to true. Refer following link https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(boolean)
