Hi,

We started using Espresso 2.0 + Cucumber to run automation tests for our application.

Recently we tried to run the automation on a device with Android version 4.4 and it crashed.

The exception we get is: Test running failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 'java.lang.IllegalStateException'

With an Android device which running version 5.0 (Lollipop) it works perfectly fine.

We tried 3 different Android 4.4 devices and all of them crashed.

I tried to run a simple automation without CucumberInstrumentationCore and it worked with all the devices.

So, there is a bug in the CucumberInstrumentationCore which fail to launch on some versions of Android?

This is the full stack trace:
