LaunchApp() Reinstalls the Whole App
See original GitHub issueThe problem
webdriverio/Appium using launchApp() will reinstall or reset the app which is not what I want to do. I want to closeApp() then launchApp() to see what the state of the app is because that is different from deleting/reinstalling the app
I have tried adding the capability noReset: true and fullReset: false and it doesn’t do anything for my problem

Could http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/device/app/activate-app/ and http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/device/app/terminate-app/ be the solution?
They can change the app state to running in the foreground and not running/ http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/device/app/app-state/
