Mobile Start app path problem

Hi,
when I start my app in spy or record I find the path of the app through the USB in the files and folder of the device (android) but it is recorded as C:\users\myUser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\INetCache\IE$someGarbage$\nameOfTheApp.apk

Is there a way to get a more straight path without the garbage that changes everytime I unhook the USB from the device… and also not linked directly to my username, since I want to be able to run this from another computer?

Hi @jtheoret,

Do you have a copy of the APK you’re trying to install and test on your computer? If so, you should use that path for the startApplication() function instead of the location on your device.

Hope this helps,

Chris
