Android M and permissions

Afrin_Sulthana · October 12, 2016, 8:38am

yea tried changing the capability settings as per Android 6.0 also. But getting the same error.

Aleksei · October 12, 2016, 8:39am

you have 2 device connected. may you remove 1 and try both again?

Afrin_Sulthana · October 12, 2016, 8:44am

Still no luck after connecting with a single device.

We’ve added a simple while loop in our framework to the method that looks up elements:

while(autoAcceptPerms && _driver.currentActivity().contains(“GrantPermissionsActivity”)){
_driver.findElement(By.id(“com.android.packageinstaller:id/permission_allow_button”)).click();
}

The autoAcceptPerms boolean is configurable by constructor. This results in permission dialogs to be immediately accepted when they appear.

I think it is simpler if you grant the permissions with adb before starting the app.

subprocess.Popen("adb shell pm grant <package name> android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION", shell=True).communicate()

with latest 1.6.3 Appium use:

capabilities.setCapability(“autoGrantPermissions”, “true”);

@Aleksei

I am using appium 1.6.3 on Android M and using …

capabilities.setCapability(“autoGrantPermissions”, “true”);

I’m launching chrome but the permission pop ups are still occurring.

Aleksei · January 7, 2017, 2:43pm

I am with native client. With chrome not tested.

We can check that the element is available or not by using:
driver.checkVisibility(“String Id”);
Then click on the buttons if the pop up is available.

thanks it works for me

rash_averak · April 12, 2017, 12:47pm

The following capabilities were provided, but are not recognized by appium: autoGrantPermissions

I have Appium 1.6.3
AndroidDriver version: 1.10.38 - I found latest version is https://github.com/appium/appium-android-driver 1.17.1 but in the Android AndroidMobileCapabilityType still are not autoGrantPermissions
I have java-appium-client-4.1.2.jar latest seems to be https://github.com/appium/java-client 5.0.0-BETA7 but again I didnt see autoGrantPermissions in the AndroidMobileCapabilityType

So what do I need to update to get Appium to recognize the autoGrantPermissions ?

dhananjay · August 31, 2017, 5:56am

I have used the capabilities u hv given for android 6 still it is giving error, please guide

Aleksei · August 31, 2017, 7:26am

@dhananjay

enable debug appium log and check that grant permission command passes to device
check on device what permissions are given
double check that you see permission dialog not your app custom dialog
