Error in starting appium-desktop using appium espresso - ava.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method getTargetState()Landroidx/lifecycle/Lifecycle$State

Hi,

I am trying to launch appium-desktop with following config:

{ “automationName”: “Espresso”, “platformName”: “Android”, “platformVersion”: “9”, “deviceName”: “Pixel2_API28”, “app”: path/to/file.apk, “noReset”: true, “allowTestPackages”: true, “espressoBuildConfig”: “{ “additionalAppDependencies”: [ “com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0”, “androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.1.0” ] }” }

My app is installed but then it is not launched on appium desktop

This is the error I see in appium server log

[Andrey-Kinsa]

I’m getting a similar issue with the next error in a logcat: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider androidx.startup.InitializationProvider: androidx.startup.StartupException: androidx.startup.StartupException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method getTargetState()Landroidx/lifecycle/Lifecycle$State; in class Landroidx/lifecycle/Lifecycle$Event; or its super classes (declaration of 'androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycle$Event' appears in /data/app/~~83xiNtFI2K7XTqDJPvq1iA==/io.appium.espressoserver.test-7dz3NCaPxZevNFbsxHHXgA==/base.apk)

my espresso build config is: "espressoBuildConfig": "{ \"additionalAppDependencies\": [ \"androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0\" ] }"

Does anybody have solution?

[mykola-mokhnach]

I would try to set a different version number for the androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions. Not sure in which version of it Google has added this particular enum.
