Hi,

Welcome to our community. I found this similar discussion that author has clarified the workaround : [Katalon return error (Could not find a driver for automationName 'uiautomator2' and platformName 'android') - #8 by salim.oncu](http://forum.katalon.com/t/katalon-return-error-could-not-find-a-driver-for-automationname-uiautomator2-and-platformname-android/119663/8) as well as I do not recommend you to use `UIAutomator 3.x` as it has not been supported in Katalon Studio yet.

1. Uninstall uiautomator2
2. Install uiautomator2@2.45.1
3. Remove the installed uiautomator2 server in the device

Thank you
