"Error while connecting UiAutomation" first time SystemTestRule is used directly or indirectly on an emulator/device with API 23-27

[sergio-sastre]

Describe the bug We get UiAutomation errors ONLY when running for the first time screenshot tests that use SystemTestRule or ActivityScenarioForActivityRule(systemLocale = "myLocale") on emulators/devices with API 23-27. Afterwards the error does not happen anymore.

Environment The setup in which the bug is reproducible:

• Device or Emulator: Any
• API level: API 23-27
• AndroidUiTestingUtils version: 1.2.3
• Affected Component: SystemLocaletestRule, ActivityScenarioForActivityRule(systemLocale = "myLocale")
• Buggy Configuration: SystemLocale

Expected behavior No UiAutomator error happening

Additional context This happens because the CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission is granted on SystemTestRule creation. We should delay it till needed -> we do change the locale. At that moment the test is already running and UiAutomator is available

fixed in 1.2.4
