Avoid android package installer notifications

Post by HugovdB » Wed Oct 07, 2020 3:10 pm

When I install an APK using either the Instrumentation Wizard or the Deploy Android app step in a script I face the issue of a confirmation message served by the Package installer. Does anyone know how to either avoid these messages or process them in such a way that the application gets installed? I've attached screenshots of the Package installer screens served.
In this screen I'd like the installation to proceed

Nothing realy happens here but added the img for the complete flow

In this screen I'd like the package installer to choose done and not open the application as this is a step in the next test case

Hi,

So if I understand you right, you want to automate these installation steps? Have you tried to find these controls with Ranorex Spy? I guess you will have to enable Android OS option (in Ranorex Settings >> Plugins tab >> Mobile section).

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your reply, yes I want to automate the complete installation proces. The issue is that I can't find the controls using Ranorex Spy, even after adjusting my settings as you suggested.

Hi,

Well, in this case, you are to ably out of luck and you will have to install the app manually? Unfortunately, it’s hard to suggest something else without seeing the apk.
