I'm building espresso-server on the fly in test so i use it like this:

• androidx.startup-runtime comes from "app.rive:rive-android:4.0.0". and as far as i know it's not used directly anywhere in the code
• i've checked resources.arsc inside builtapk and there is a string with given id ("androidx_startup")
• i've checked other issues with ResourceNotFound (Drawable one)

Any ideas?

@loomdoom Seeing the same issue , Are you able to resolve this issue?

I dont remember what finally made it to work but what actually worked for me looked like this:

 init {

        dadb.terminateApp("com.redacted.app.automatedTest")

        appiumLocalServer = startHostServer()

        var errorThrown = true
        try {
            val capabilities = DesiredCapabilities()
            capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android")
            capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, dadb.toString())
            capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, ANDROID_UIAUTOMATOR2)
            //capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, apkPath)
            capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 0)

            //capabilities.setCapability(AndroidMobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.redacted.app.automatedTest")
            //capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, true)

            extraCaps.asMap().forEach {
                capabilities.setCapability(it.key, it.value)
            }

            val androidDriver = AndroidDriver(URL("http://0.0.0.0:$appiumPort"), capabilities).apply {
                setSetting("driver", "compose")
            }

            installApp(androidDriver, apkPath)
            androidDriver.activateApp("com.redacted.app.automatedTest")

            driver = androidDriver
            instrumentationClient = InstrumentationClient(instrumentationPort)
            println(dadb.forward(instrumentationPort, 8080))
            errorThrown = false
        } catch (e: MalformedURLException) {
            e.printStackTrace()
            throw (e)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            println(e.message)
            throw (e)
        } finally {
            if (errorThrown) {
                close()
            } else {
                instances.add(this)
            }
        }
    }

there were other issues like e.g. app install uninstall that i had to do using adb(dadb variable in code above) client or running custom instrumentation http server(embedded in app's test variant and client impl using retrofit - InstrumentationClient in code above)
