Hi everyone,

I am trying to perform mobile testing with my android device but when I try to launch my .apk file I end of with the above error.

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you.

Thanks!

Hi @qa-sa,

Thank you for your sharing. Please check if the APK file is compatible with your Android version. Update Appium and Katalon version to the latest one.

Please double check the UIAutomator2 driver version installed on your machine, Katalon Studio works fine with version 2.10.0 and previous versions only, latest version is not supported to run for now.

Hi everyone,

So I have tried to install a previous version of UIAutomator2 driver and it seems solve the problem.
I am trying to perform couple of testing before closing this issue to make sure it works fine.

On the other I have tried also to update Katalon to the latest version but I had an issue:

have you seen this before?

Many thanks again,
