When I start Appium inspector on Windows 10 for Android 10, my App shuts down and restarts with reset permissions, that is it asks me if the app needs access to camera, video, location, etc though these permissions were already given. It also removes the license file from my app. Any idea why this happens? Following are my Desired capabilities:
{
"platformName": "Android",
"platformVersion": "10.0",
"deviceName": "R52N20ALVDN",
"udid": "R52N20ALVDN",
"appPackage": "Nap.CP.Android",
"automationName": "uiautomator2",
"appActivity": "crc6429e3927486beccbc.ActivityLicenseBrowse"
}
The uiautomatorviewer works fine. I tried changing the activity from:
"appActivity": "crc6429e3927486beccbc.ActivityLicenseBrowse"
To:
"appActivity": "crc6429e3927486beccbc.ActivityLogin"
And got the following error:
Error

Visit https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/docs/en/writing-running-appium/android/activity-startup.md for troubleshooting. Original error: Error executing adbExec.

And it again resets the permissions as before in addition to giving above error.
Inspector was working fine when I tried it at my workplace but failure showed up when I tried the same from home, though other than the network ie wi-fi at home, nothing has changed. The Desired capabilities were also the same.
