How to start second test case not from Onboarding/splash screen

Support
1

I want to execute following scenario:
Test Case 1: should start from onboarding screen and test case will interact with it. (like we have downloaded the app for the first time.) now test case 2 should not see the onboarding screen.( like we dont see when we open the app for second time). how to emulate this?

2

If we minimize the app and maximize it again then we do not see splash screen.

If u use android app then this option will work.

Minimize app after test case 1 and invoke app my maximizing it

3

minimize the app? means - driver.quit or driver.close? or you have something else in mind?

testcase1 executed
then
// Press Home Key
_driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.HOME);

	// KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH
	_driver.pressKeyCode(0x000000bb);

           // brings app to current focus without launching it
	_driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("appName").click();

Now, execute testcase2

question 1. what does this line means:
// brings app to current focus without launching it
_driver.findElementByAccessibilityId(“appName”).click();

question 2: how to manage capabilities for next test case. because capability expect Onboadring activity. Or are you not initializing the driver again?

6

Why are you launching app for every test case ?

Just launch app once and execute multiple test cases using testng.xml for a single session.

@amitjaincoer191
thats really i want to do. Can you share your code where u initialize Appium and also the code of AfterSuite or AfterTest where you close the app or press home button?

There is workaround. So In
test case 1: Provide apk path to your capability
test case 2: Do not mention application path, just provide launch activity… that will launch existing app without instlling new one.
