Hi @sujatasumbare54,

Welcome to Katalon Community! 👋

After reading through your error log, it seems like it might be a driver-related issue. I am attaching the link below from our documentations on how to set up mobile testing in Katalon Studio with Android:

> **[\[Mobile\] Set up real Android devices in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs](https://docs.katalon.com/docs/katalon-studio/manage-projects/set-up-projects/mobile-testing/android/mobile-set-up-real-android-devices-in-katalon-studio)**
>
> This article shows you how to set up real Android devices to test Android applications with Katalon Studio.

Meanwhile, let’s wait until a more experienced members can take a look at your issue and propose a more suitable solution.

It is also a good idea if you could provide us with more information i.e. a screenshot, etc.

Thanks
