So just a small question, I have a list that will be populated by name of whatever app I install, and this app will not always be the same so I want to get the name of the app in a similar fashion that I do `driver.current_package` to get the package and then use uiautomator to tap that app name in the list. Is that possible? I don’t want to hardcode the name of the app in

Thanks!
