Ranorex Forum

Hi , this question might have asked before but couldn't find a specific solution yet

Im automating a Android application (kind of a order management) and when open order details it loads a google map part inside a view which plot the order location,

As you may have experienced ranorex is failing to identify this google map elements (loads as a blank view),

Im trying to integrate appium to pass that part of the test but still no luck.( issues like appium aslo trying to reload the activity )

can anyone suggest a solution on this. (I need to click on the plot in map and verify the label text)

Hi Sandamal,

To interact with the Google Maps elements, it is necessary to sign the instrumented application using the same certificate that was used during the build of the APK file.
To set these additional parameters, please open the "Settings..." dialog as shown below.

Afterwards, please enter the “APK Signing” details.

Please ensure that the same signing is used for building and instrumenting the APK and that you need to enter the JDK bin path manually.

I hope this solves your problem.
