Re-open an installed app on an Android device

Any suggestions on how to open an app on an Android device without
re-installing . This app is not a system app. A brief description of the
app that i’m testing : Im enrolling an Android device into a server.
During this process, the system re-directs me to playstore to install
the app and enroll the device into server. I was able to automate this
successfully. But then when I want to open this app for a different test
scenario, I signed the app with my debug keys and gave as the target to
re-open in a different test. When I run the test, the app appears to be
re-installing as it un-enrolls my device. Any suggestions on how to
open it as is?

Make sure in Appium GUI, “No Rest” button “checked” and “Full Reset” unchecked.

@UD
Thanks so much for the reply.
I set no Reset to check and Full Reset to uncheck. I still get the same error.

I uploaded the apk to Appium GUI and also kept a copy on under the package in eclipse. and it worked.
Thanks a lot again… I’ve been searching for this for a while now :smile:

@UD
Is it possible to set the same no reset as a desired capabilities instead of a GUI?

for example this:
capability.setCapability(“noReset”, true );

Yes Priya, You can use this desiredcapavility “noReset” to make sure not resetting the application.
By default, it is “false”.
