Please refer to issue #4 here: [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Troubleshooting+automated+mobile+testing](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Troubleshooting+automated+mobile+testing). You need to add appWaitActivity key here, and for the value please refer this guide how to grab it.

You are using incorrect value, it should be “ **appWaitActivity** ”, NOT “AppWaitActivity”. Please adjust it correctly
