ADB permission issue in startup

[ollipm]

Hi, i have been trying to get my appium to work after updating appium-uiautomator2-driver from 3.0.5 to 3.5.5 but once i try to open any session i get error: "... shell cmd package list packages' exited with code 255'; Command output: Exception occurred while executing 'list': java.lang.SecurityException: Shell does not have permission to access user 10 ..."

The error comes comes after: "[ADB] The installed 'io.appium.uiautomator2.server' package is older than '.appium\node_modules\appium-uiautomator2-driver\node_modules\appium-uiautomator2-server\apks\appium-uiautomator2-server-v7.0.13.apk' (167 < 175 or '7.0.5' < '7.0.13')'"

The phone used is Samsung Galaxy S23 And here are the capabilities i tried to use in appium inspector: { "platformName": "Android", "appium:automationName": "UIAutomator2", "appium:platformVersion": "14", }

Managed to get this working by setting a appium:skipServerInstallation to True but is there any other solution to this?

Please provide the full server log.

I guess the issue might be related to the fact the server package has been installed from another user account. Try to reset the driver install as a possible workaround

[mykola-mokhnach]

it looks like the reset script uses the same logic that the driver itself. You may still remove components manually:

adb uninstall io.appium.uiautomator2.server
adb uninstall io.appium.uiautomator2.server.test
adb uninstall io.appium.settings

Removing those components and then trying again had no effect and the logs: [AppiumDriver@c698] Calling AppiumDriver.createSession() with args: [{"platformName":"Android","appium:automationName":"UIAutomator2","appium:platformVersion":"14","appium:skipServerInstallation":false,"appium:ensureWebviewsHavePages":true,"appium:nativeWebScreenshot":true,"appium:newCommandTimeout":3600,"appium:connectHardwareKeyboard":true},null,{"alwaysMatch":{"platformName":"Android","appium:automationName":"UIAutomator2","appium:platformVersion":"14","appium:skipServerInstallation":false,"appium:ensureWebviewsHavePages":true,"appium:nativeWebScreenshot":true,"appium:newCommandTimeout":3600,"appium:connectHardwareKeyboard":true},"firstMatch":[{}]}] [AppiumDriver@c698] Event 'newSessionRequested' logged at 1718743502127 (23:45:02 GMT+0300 (Itä-Euroopan kesäaika)) [Appium] Attempting to find matching driver for automationName 'UIAutomator2' and platformName 'Android' [Appium] The 'uiautomator2' driver was installed and matched caps.

Checked google for similar issues and it looks like the issue has to do with profiles that are installed/activated on the device.

You may try to switch the profile to the default one (user 0) or use a different device that does not have such restrictions to run automated tests.

Yes i have a work profile set, i tried to use the uiautomator2 capability appium:userProfile and set it to 0 but no effect

[amedvedjev]

Interesting met similar with update appium server and uiautomator on half phones. Removing Meraki Work profile helps. But still wonder why it worked before about 3 month old appium and uiAutomator driver....

I got the same issue with both versions 3.0.5 to 3.5.5. Do we have any way to pass the --user 0 to the appium configuration?

[itkhanz]

Seems similar to #810 . Please try to test with the driver version 3.7.6 that was just released which resolved this issue by appending --user 0.

Thanks to PR from @mykola-mokhnach
