Here’s the error you are getting:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method lifecycleEventObserver(Ljava/lang/Object;)Landroidx/lifecycle/LifecycleEventObserver; in class Landroidx/lifecycle/Lifecycling; or its super classes (declaration of ‘androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycling’ appears in /data/app/io.appium.espressoserver.test-z4Zirf10mrYG1Q9H2t7VhQ==/base.apk)
The closest thing I can find is this:
opened 01:37AM - 10 May 19 UTC
Appium v1.12.0
I'm not very familiar with Appium, this is my first crack at thi… s.
I get the following exception when I try to start an Appium session with espresso. The crash is happening in the `onCreate` method of all my activities (I've tried starting with different activities) via `androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity.onCreate(AppCompatActivity.java:71)`.
This crash does not happen when I change the driver to `UiAutomator2`, run the app on its own, or run my Espresso test suite. The crash only occurs when I run through Appium via the Espresso driver.
My config JSON:
```

Trying with Appium 1.13.0 gives me a different error:
`[debug] [MJSONWP] Encountered internal error running command: Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting instrumentation ComponentInfo{io.appium.espressoserver.test/androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner} from pid=13136, uid=13136 not allowed because package io.appium.espressoserver.test does not have a signature matching the target com.redacted.debug`
You don’t give any details on your setup but the discussion suggests it could be a bad Gradle entry.
