driver.activate_app() referencing entirely different app from driver.terminate_app() [Android Samsung]
See original GitHub issueMy tests involves rebooting the app in which I use
self._driver.terminate_app('com.xxx.xxx.debug')
self._driver.activate_app('com.xxx.xxx.debug')
terminate_app works completely fine, it will close the app under test as expected. But running activate_app for some reason, opens the native Pictures app (Samsung Gallery)! There’s no way these apps have the same package name so I’m very very confused.
Environment
- Appium v2.0.0-beta.40
- uiautomator2@2.4.0
