You can do it in two steps:

mvn dependency:get -D artifact=com.example:foo-app:1.0.0:apk
adb install ~/.m2/repository/com/example/foo-app/1.0.0/foo-app-1.0.0.apk

but not within the android maven plugin?

Would you be OK with a pom.xml to run, or do you want it to run in a bare directory?

Oh, and this assumes you don't want to just click the Nexus URL on the device and install it that way.

I am not so familiar with the maven terminology. what do you mean by run with a pom.xml and run it in a bare directory? Actually, I would like to automatically test an application update, i.e. deploy version 1 to the device, and then update to version 2. Thus, clicking on a URL is not an option.

Regarding bare/pom -- what I was asking is whether you are OK with a config file that specifies what to download and how to deploy it, etc... ie 'mvn install' (or whatever) to download and install the correct version.   That would allow you to hide the steps Frederik was suggesting.

As to the URL thing - that would allow testing your scenario... a simple HTML page could have the links to v1, v2, v3 etc... As you click each one, it would try to replace the existing install with that version.

It's really just a matter of what you are trying to accomplish...

I would like to run the application update as part of my normal automatic test suite without manual interaction, so as part of some maven goal.

If you have specified an instrumentation test module, it will automatically install the APK under test at the beginning of its run... I'm not sure whether it uninstalls it first or not.

You could make on project that has a dependency on an old version and runs the deploy goal. And then another module that runs later in the reactor has the instrumentation tests. That would automatically install the latest version (also declared as a dependency on that project) and therefore run an update .. however I am not sure if you could capture the update process in a test run or would have to rely on a known state the application should end up in and have tests that assert that.

I am pretty sure this would work but I have not tried..
