I am struggling to get a React Native launched on my phone via Appium.
- OSX 10.13.3
- Appium v1.7.2
- Sony XPERIA M4 Aqua (Android 5.0)
Application is taken from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyyti.ride&rdid=com.kyyti.ride and I put the APK to Apps folder inside the project.
When the app is installed and running on the phone, I get the following package/activity info (application is launched manually and is in foreground):
adb shell
shell@E2303:/ $ dumpsys window windows | grep -E 'mCurrentFocus|mFocusedapp'
mCurrentFocus=Window{1260ad1a u0 com.kyyti.ride/com.reactnativenavigation.controllers.NavigationActivity}
shell@E2303:/ $ exit
The code I am trying to run is
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CapabilityType;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
public class StartApplication {
private static AndroidDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {
File classpathRoot = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
File appDir = new File(classpathRoot, "/Apps/");
File app = new File(appDir, "app-prod.apk");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions","true");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "YT9119NMHD");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.kyyti.ride");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.reactnativenavigation.controllers.NavigationActivity");
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(80, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Thread.sleep(10000);
driver.quit();
}
}
When the code is executed, I can see that the device gets found, connected and the application gets (re-)installed. However, the launching gets stuck eventually resulting in Java exception
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Error occured while starting App. Original error: Permission to start activity denied. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

What am I doing stupidly wrong?
