I am also getting this error even when executing a test on demo.apk file from IBM. This tells me that the issue is not the app but Katalon Studio itself. ---

It is now working, but I got another problem. It is failing setting the password when i run the “Log In” test case of the mobile app. it got the error “FAILED because (of) Failed to set text into element (Root cause: Object Object Repository/android.widget.EditText1 - Password not found)” This is the script Mobile.setText(findTestObject(‘android.widget.EditText1 - Password’), ‘MyPassword’, 0) should i create a custom keyword for this? or is there a function for this? like setPassword? Thanks! ---

‘Object Object Repository/android.widget.EditText1 - Password not found’ relates to Katalon Studio can’t find this object based on its properties. Can you check on some other properties and try again? ---
