Hi,

I am trying to start chrome browser in android simulator using Appium. Starting a native app works fine but browser is not starting. Getting the below error -

debug: Successfully cleaned up old chromedrivers

debug: Spawning chromedriver with: /home/akansh/projects/appium/build/chromedriver/linux/chromedriver

Please help in this regard. How can I get org.chromium.chrome.testshell installed in my emulator.

Thanks,
Akansh

The Chromium docs are here: http://www.chromium.org/

You could also install a Chrome apk on the device and use that.
