Newbie-->why appium install appium settings on android hybrid app all the times

Support

I’m starting using appium to record test on android hybrid application.

I’m asking myself why appium install all the times appiun settings. It takes 20 seconds each time I open the inspector.

If i have the apk installed, why cannot connect directly to chromedriver for the webview context of the application?

These are my capabilities for the cordova/phonegap test application

{
“platformName”: “Android”,
“platformVersion”: “7.0”,
“deviceName”: “xiaomi”,
“automationName”: “UiAutomator2”,
“androidUseRunningApp”: true,
“androidActivity”: “com.lasterra.test.MainActivity”,
“androidPackage”: “com.lasterra.test”,
“appPackage”: “com.lasterra.test”,
“appActivity”: “.MainActivity”,
“autoWebview”: false,
“noReset”: true
}
