I setup an android device on my MacBookPro and am getting correct response for

% adb devices
List of devices attached
TA64303OHM  device

Now I am trying to use ContactManager.apk from and running the example test found here.

I am getting the following error in my appium logs. Also my apk file is renamed to some-number.tmp.

Also a few lines below I see the following error -

error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c java -jar "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-adb/jars/sign.jar" "/Users/hellboy/SampleProject/apps/ContactManager/ContactManager.apk" --override
