Once done, I did try to configured the device and start with application ID. But error pop shows "Unable to start application and reason Root exception:

@mohana What version of appium and Katalon Studio are you using? It could be that the appium version is not compatible with this version Katalon Studio

@mohana That is a very old version of Appium. I would suggest updating to a newer version. To work out of the box on android you could use appium version 1.22.3. They have moved on to appium 2 but that is not yet supported by Katalon Studio fully.

@kreno Thank you so much for your reply and I have tried to uninstall and install back the mentioned version, its working. :slight_smile:
