Hello,
I need help to run Appium on Android emulator using an android application (like calculator, settings, …). When I use an .apk it works fine, but for a com.android it doesn’t.
I’m not sure if this is an bug or lack of knowledge from my part (<- most possible) but since I didn’t find anything regarding this on internet I’m posting here.
If possible could you please provide me an step by step guide on how to fix it?
Please note detailed info bellow.
Thanks in advance!
