When using Appium for automated testing, it errors out after running for a short period of time.
My test case suite has about 600 tests that need to run for over 5 hours in both native app and webview. However, I frequently encounter the issue where the UiAutomator2 server probably crashed. The specific error message is as follows. Has anyone experienced the same problem or can offer a direction for resolution?
