Selendroid not running for a particular real device -says "Error occurred while starting selendroid"

[naddy095]

Hi guys,

For my selendroid script, I have a real device running android version 4.2.2 for which selendroid starts my app and works fine. However, when I try the same script for a real device running android version 4.0.4 it says  the following log.

Kindly help me find the issue.

So far for me it's never worked on anything below KitKat.

It's worked for me on real devices for 4.2 / 4.3

The error says instrumentation failed... there should be something
more in `adb logcat` for the device related to the instrumentation
failing to start, can you check that?
