Install and Uninstall Android App

[Ajay_Kumar_S]

Hi,

How do we Install and Uninstall Android App using Appium?

App is not previously installed and I'm trying for fresh installation.
I have been using "--full-reset" to start the appium server. Also providing setting setting capability.

capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());

Its not installing the app. Could you please help?

Thanks,
Ajay

Hello,

You have 2 options:

1. Install App on real device.
   You have to declare your apk file location.
   File file = new File("pathToYourApkFile.apk");
   Also add:
   capabilities.setCapability(“app”, app.getAbsolutePath());
   These lines will install app in your real device.

2. Install App on virtual device:
   Just copy apk file to SDK folder and run adb install yourapk.apk

Hope it will help.

Can you please share your Android driver creation code.

Ideally it should uninstall existing app and re-install.

Below command will uninstall the APK from your device. Ensure to call it before driver is killed or quit.

driver.removeApp(<<packageName as String>>);
