Ranorex Forum

Hi all,

Trying to test mobile application through Ranorex. I added the device and instrumented my app but I'm getting message No app running beside emulator. The question is which app (Ranorex app or app to test mobile application), and what should I do to resolve the issue?

Thank you.

Hi Strannik,

May I ask you to provide some additional information?
Therefore, please answer the following questions:

• Which version of Ranorex is installed on your machine?
• Are you trying to test Android or iOS?
  • Please have a look at these links for more information about iOS and Android Testing
    • iOS
    • Android
• Have you instrumented you application properly?
• Can you please also attach a screenshot of this error message?

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Hi Markus,

I have installed Ranorex 5.0.2.17874. I'm trying to test Android and on android device it is saying Ranorex Services 5.0.2. Please see an attachment for details.

Thank you.

Markus, I did other application install and instrumented app but still No app running and when I'm trying to do Recording I'm getting the follow message: Failed to start app... I'm attaching screenshots.

Hi Markus,

If I select Start button again I will receive this message (see an attachment) which come ups after "Failed to start app ..." message. Please see ah attachment.

Thank you.

Hi Strannik,

Thank you for the screenshots. As I saw in your screenshots, you are trying to start the Ranorex Service APK within Ranorex Studio. You don’t need to do this. You can simply install the Service application on your device/emulator without instrumenting it.

May I ask you to have a look at our User Guide Android Section.

In this section you can find a detailed description how to automate android applications. There is also a link to an application (KeePass) which is used in our samples.

Thank you, Markus.

I'm already know where is my mistake and solved the problem.
