Hi, do you tried to get allow button ID with uiautomatorviewer

Aleksei · September 5, 2017, 7:23am

@Ashu05may next try:


        WebElement allowButton = driver.findElement(MobileBy.id("com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button"));
        new TouchAction((MobileDriver) driver).press(allowButton).waitAction(Duration.ofMillis(70)).release().perform();

allowButton.click();

Appium server stopped successfully

Here I can see, pkg looks different so not sure It is trying to click or not.

@Ashu05may tried suggestion with “com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button” tap? OR you have this screen on START driver and thus driver failed to start?

1137 · September 5, 2017, 12:20pm

driver not run
you have error

[ADB] Incorrect package and activity.

test your capabilities

Aleksei · September 5, 2017, 12:33pm

@Ashu05may if you want to test this on START update caps:

capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.android.packageinstaller");
capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.APP_WAIT_ACTIVITY, ".permission.ui.GrantPermissionsActivity");

1137 · September 5, 2017, 1:06pm

it looks like activity name is wrong

igal_epshtein · September 5, 2017, 9:44pm

We found a capability which has helped us.

Set an autoGrantPerrmisions capability to true

Ashu05may · September 6, 2017, 6:09am

Thank you very @igal_epshtein, its a nice way. it works.

amarKumar · September 11, 2017, 8:56am

@Ashu05may, can you please post your code snippet for the same. I am also facing similar problem as yours.

Ashu05may · November 14, 2017, 7:38am

@amarKumar - please find code -

if(ScrRunInterface.equalsIgnoreCase(“realdevice”)){

		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "4.4.4");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME,"Appium");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "ZX1B34GX78");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, false);
        capabilities.setCapability("app-package", "com.abcd.consumer.activity");  
        capabilities.setCapability("app-activity", "com.abcd.consumer.activity.SplashScreenActivity");  
		capabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions","true");  //this code you need to add
		
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
		driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        }
