Unable to launch app on Android Samsung Tablet

I am trying to automate tests for a Samsung Tab A7. Using the Appium Inspector supplying the capabilities it launches the app however when I try this via C# I get error

POST /session HTTP/1.1

Connection: Keep-Alive

Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8

{“status”:100,“value”:{“error”:“invalid argument”,“message”:“Bad capabilities. Specify either app or appTopLevelWindow to create a session”}}

My Code is simple

AppiumOptions options = new();

  •  *

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("udid", "R9WR403P7KJ");*

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("platformVersion", "11.0");*

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("deviceName", "SM-T500");*

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("platformName", "Android");*

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("appPackage","com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator");*

  •            options.AddAdditionalCapability("appActivity", "com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator.Calculator");*

  •            _driver = new AndroidDriver<AndroidElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), options);*

Any advice greatly appreciated
Thank you.

Have you tried adding ‘app:’ or ‘appTopLevelWindow’ capabilities? The error looks pretty straightforward. Seems like ‘options.AddAdditionalCapability(“app”, "/path/to/.apk’")’ would be easiest.
