Not able to launch activity with espresso driver version 1.11.0

Same code works fine for appium-espresso-driver version 1.10.1 Below is the error log :

Error in onReload hook: "Error: A new session could not be created.

I can see a . after app package name. If i remove that and run adb shell am start -n com.abc.xyz/com.egf.pax.newface.presentation.newface.NewFace the activity is successfully launched. I am not sure why is . added.

@pwunsch This was fixed after appium 1.13.0 was already out. The fix will be in when appium 1.13.1 is released or you can try it now in appium@beta

@juandg Could you please try if https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver/pull/441 works for you? Here you can find more info on how to run Appium from source and here on how to build the server apk.
