Get appPackage information during the execution

I think I see two problems here – if I’m wrong, please forgive my misinterpretation

  1. You need to set the appPackage capability when you start Appium. From the description above, you may not be setting that capability – that would describe the return of “null” from capabilities

  2. Get the appPackage for whatever is running on the device at that moment.

In both cases, You can do this with aapt:

% aapt dump badging |grep package:
package: name=’<app_package>’ versionCode=’’ versionName=’<version_name>’
