Hello, guys. Up till now I’ve been testing my own apk, but currently I have to launch Android native settings which has no apk. The problem seems to be that Appium continues to look for apk on my local machine, although I have provided appPackage and appActivity capabilities for Android settings. I’ve always launched appium with “app” parameter containing path to local file. Now I have no need for this, but I guess Appium still wants it. Is there a way to bypass it? Am I doing something wrong maybe?
Logs:
[MJSONWP] Encountered internal error running command: Error: Error occured while starting App. Original error: activity and pkg is required for launching application

Update: If I don’t provide “app” parameter, I will get “The desired capabilities must include either an app, appPackage or browserName” error
Update 2: Error appears on calling launchApp() method from Appium Java-Client library. Without this method my app just would not launch even with all the necessary capabilities provided.
