update you appium version then. latest version will come with latest version of settings app. then run your script, latest appium will install all latest packages.😉 ---

Hi @langme, I have a similar problem. I need to install io.appium.settings but in the adb packages list this package is not found. Do you know how I can solve this problem? I build the emulator with the following requirements: **Appium version** : 1.22.1 **Emulator technical data:** - Android Version 7.1 (API 25) - build-tools;25.0.0 - platforms;android-25 - system-images;android-25;google\_apis;armeabi-v7a (I use this image because in pipeline with docker i read in documentation that acceleration hardware is not possible with x86 or x86\_64) **Adb Version:** - Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41 Version 31.0.3-7562133 **Docker** : - OS: Centos7 - Java: 11-openjdk - Python: 3.7. Thanks for your help!
