Mobile Android 12 testing

Hi there! 

 

We have a new phone (physical device) for Mobile testing, connected with USB. It is running Android 12.

When I connect the phone, I am able to install our application and I can see objects in the "Object Browser".

And I can also click on these objects, and our application is responding, so this is all working as expected.

 

However, I can not see the Mobile screen in TestComplete:

 

This screen is always shown, also on the Home screen for example.

So I don't think the FLAG_SECURE (of our application) is the problem.

Because when I delete our application, this message is still shown, always.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    Hi Nick! 

     

    Thanks for you reply. Yes. we are currently using the Legacy method. We have looked into the Cloud/BitBar method but we don't want to use this.

     

    If I understand correctly, we are able to run tests on our own physical devices (connected with USB), by using a local Appium server? If that's the case, we will use Appium instead of Legacy 🙂

    Hi Frits!

     

    That is correct, the cloud method does allow to you to connect to either A. a local appium server or B. a cloud provider such as BitBar. 

     

    I use the cloud method exclusively for testing on my local devices, it's more reliable, quicker and much easier setup. 

     

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks for your reply and help! I have set up a local Appium server and it now works as expected!
