I tried to uninstall Appium_Settings / Unlock before starting Appium, it bypass this error [Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS: Attempt to re-install io.appium.settings without first uninstalling.]]

http://www.testingtools.co/appium/install_failed_already_exists-attempt-to-re-install-io-appium-settings-without-first-uninstalling

but facing another error [error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Command failed: C:\Win

m-tools\adb.exe -s ac51daff shell "ps 'uiautomator'""]

then apply changes instructed by Manasa_Kashyap

a new session successfully created!

hope it helps, good luck!

Machine OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
Appium: 1.4.16.1

thanks to @willosser @Manasa_Kashyap

Does anyone know how to uninstall Appium_Settings.apk and Unlock.apk programmatically vs. manually run cmd every time?

[willosser]

We have our own adb library which includes a method to uninstall the app. This won't work if you are using a device farm (e.g. BitBar, SauceLabs) because they don't give you access to adb (and rightfully so, they want to protect their devices from malicious or unintentional hazardous actions). If you are testing your device in house, though, you can use this solution.

Alternately, you can dig through appium and enhance their interfaces so it uninstalls the app before installing if using Appium N

[harigovind]

@samadhan_kolhe have you tried this ? It should solve that error

1.6.3 should have a fix for it though.

Thanks @Donna @Manasa_Kashyap

[samadhan_kolhe]

Hello ,

Thank you so much.Its working.Thanks for your help.

[Donna]

I get the test phone connected to my dev machine. could you please share your customized uninstall the app method in adb library? Appreciate your help, thanks!

[willosser]

It's not terribly complex -- we execute the command 'adb -s uninstall '

You can obtain the uuid by parsing the output of adb devices in a similar fashion to what appium does.

What's more interesting is setting up an adb class that can be used as necessary.

Please find solution for above problem:

npm config set strict-ssl=false // set firewall to false

// install windows build tools for python configuration
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm install --global node-gyp

npm config set strict-ssl=true // set firewall to true again

npm cache clean // Clean cache of node

Appium server 1.6.4
Java 1.8
Selenium 3.3.1
Appium Java Client 5.0.0.0-Beta6

Upgrading from Appium 1.6.3 did the trick to work with Android N in Windows 10 where I had similar problems

[Syam]

@Bensam_Viswambharan
Thanks..we are able to work with Android N in Windows 10 using the above mentioned configs.

[madiharehman]

@harigovind what approach you used to fix this? i am getting error when connected device with android 7 and appium version i am using is 1.4.16.1 doing this on windows.

Please guide

[harigovind]

@madiharehman Why don’t you try update your appium , Latest is 1.6.x , and if u r using java, client version is 5.x . They have fix for this issue

[madiharehman]

@harigovind http://discuss.appium.io/u/harigovind I have updated appium
to 1.6 but my java version is 8 as i am running jmeter too on same machine
and it required java version 8.

I can start the appium server via node.js setting the required port and ip
but here how will i give the SDK path as error i get is that SDK path is
not correct. As 1.6 Appium is non GUI version i am unable to find the
solution on how to exactly use this version of appium.
