I could not launch the android app in the device facing below error, while running the test code

info: Responding to client with error: {"status":33,"value":{"message":"A new session could not be created. (Original error: Parameter 'appPackage' is required for launching application)","origValue":"Parameter 'appPackage' is required for launching application"},"sessionId":null}

I am using mac machine.

Can anyone help me.

Thanks in advance.

I think as your log shows you need to add appPackage as a capabilities. In Appium 1.0.0 beta the app-package capabilities is changed to appPackage. 

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");

capabilities.setCapability("app", "absolue path to your app");

capabilities.setCapability("appPackage","name of your app");

if you install the app on your android device you can find appPackage name by running "adb shell pm list packages" and your package should be there.

Right now it is working for me. Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Much appreciated..

Now it's works fine for me.  

But I faced one more issue that is for appActivity, we need to add capabilities as "appPackage" instead of "app-package" and also "appActivity" as a capabilities instead of "app-activity" which i shown below,

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

capabilities.setCapability("device", "Android");

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "");

capabilities.setCapability("app", "absolue path to your app");

capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "Name of your appPackage");

capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "Name of your appActivity");

Now it's work good.

Thanks
