Hello
I’m struggling with appium test wrapped with webdriver IO and after tests, installation file *apk, gets deleted. There’s no log regarding, no setting. I don’t understand why this is happening.
Is there any settings related to such action? This is really inconvenient for me.
It might be the same bug as in APK file being deleted after appium completes test run · Issue #797 · appium/appium-uiautomator2-driver · GitHub
Make sure both the driver and the server are up to date

@mykola-mokhnach thanks a lot! You’re a saver 
Using absolute location path for apk fixed the problem. Hope the issue will be fixed soon.
Deleted from the target, or deleted from the test machine? What, is the reason you don’t want the apk deleted/removed from the target after the test?
I’m only asking, because I hit this issue years ago and have worked around it, because we also wanted the apk to stay on the target, and keen to know if our decision to do that was really healthy @Agata_Ciesielska . Oh and welcome to the Appium user forums
