Hello. I’m trying to set up this enviroment and when I click on Launch the Appium shows the following message: ``` erro total error: Could not pre-launch appium: Error: apk does not have INTERNET permissions. Selendroid needs internet permission to proceed, please check if you have in your AndroidManifest.xml ``` Here’s my configuration: ![](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/281/8d1a0371ae6a85b1.png) I’ve already checked my AndroidManifest.xml and I have this permission on it (detail here is that I use android.permission.INTERNET, without \*\*). I’ll appreciate any help given. Thanks! ---

Hmm, you shouldn’t have to do anything special. Are you using appium, and a related appium client? What do your desired capabilities look like? ---

I don’t know if I understand your first question, but yes, I’m using Appium client. And actually I don’t have desired capabilities yet, cause I can’t even Launch the server and start the emulator. ---

I’m seeing the same error starting today. Tried appium 1.2.3, 1.2.4 and 1.3 beta. The apk is not a problem - i believe something messed up during either - my upgrade from Maverics to Yosemite, or - updating command line tools to 6.1, or - updating android sdk tools Do you have any insights? Thanks! ---

Hmmm. I’m using Mavericks. ---

We did a bit of investigation while using the same APK file. All works with this setup: Maverics + Appium 1.2.4 Fails on Internet permission with: Yosemite + 1.2.4 (newer commandline tools as well) Any clues? Our manifest includes the Internet permission. ---

You want to use `appActivity` and `appPackage`. Camelcase not hyphenated. Commandline tools 6.1 should be fine. Yosemite shouldn’t bother it either. ---

Okey, we will fix that. However - the root was elsewhere: android sdk, build tools version 21. All works just fine with version 20. ---

Same issue. All works perfect for Appium automationName and crashes with Selendroid… Any solution? Appium 1.2.3, OSX 10.10 ---

I noticed the same problem here in my machine, and the RegExp whtin adb.js is not working for aapt 21.0.2 (My version). Here when I run the same command the value for INTERNET permission is: uses-permission: **name=** ‘android.permission.INTERNET’ but the regex in adb.js is uses-permission:‘android.permission.INTERNET’. So what you can do is edit the file adb.js in …/appium/node\_modules/appium-adb/lib/adb.js Method ADB.prototype.hasInternetPermissionFromManifest look for **var hasInternetPermission = new RegExp** and change the value for **“uses-permission: name=‘android.permission.INTERNET’”**. After changing the regex, it worked for me. ---

Massanori\_Takaki, many thanks! That worked for me. Just in case, the full path to adb.js for mac users (appium installed from npm): /usr/local/lib/node\_modules/appium/node\_modules/appium-adb/lib/ Also I sent the bug report: [https://github.com/appium/appium-adb/issues/58](https://github.com/appium/appium-adb/issues/58) in case if it’s bug ) ---

How do I edit this file on Windows. If I use Notepad to edit adb.js, javascript tells me that there is an error on line 3. I then have to reinstall appium to recover from the second error. ---

Hi @Ernest, Try to use Notepad++ instead of Notepad, and look for that string. ---

I’m seeing this same behavior with the Appium 1.3.3 desktop app binary on OS X 10.9.5. If I downgrade the Android Build Tools package to version 20, everything works fine.
