this is pure guesing, but :

"appPackage": "com.myCie.pjc",
"appActivity" : "myCie.views.pages.root.RootPage",
"noReset" : "true",
"fullReset" : "false"

 

i feel like you can get rid of the "app" capability to the the path of your apk, and given the app is already on your android device, appium should be able to start the app given the 4 caps above without reinstalling from scratch.

Thank you hkim5,

 

Tried previously, obviously something was not ok at that time.  The setup is currently not well known by myself. All from the laptop and physical device. I need to learn the sequencing:  

Plugin device

Allow file transfer on device

Start Fiddler (need to redirect app traffic to work office)

start Appium

Start Session (appium)

Run test from TC!

 

Last attempt work after removing "App" capability. It did restart the my app, but I am guess this is related to Mobile.Connect...

 

I continue from here.
