I was facing the same issue and this is what solved my problem
App can be launched from adb cmd prompt using
adb shell am start -n appname/activity name
My issues was that i was trying to launch an activity which was not the first one to launch the app.
i amm also facing this same issue, i have add add android:exported=“true” also.
Hi, I decompile the apk file and add android:exported=“true” in the AndroidManifest.xml, then recompile the apk file. Then install it in my mobile device(real device). when i try to open the app, the app pops up “stop working” error directly. Do you know the reason?
Hi Philippe,
I am trying to automate an UOBAM Thailand app, but i get error and the code which i am using works for similar app but for this app it is not able to createSession due to permission denial.
I have also send you the code which i am using.

Please suggest what needs to be done to fix this
aapt dump badging “path of the apk” in the command prompt
And scroll from bottom and check the launchable activity and use that correct activity.
Hi Mukul, are you able to solve this issue?
