[Android] Detox can't seem to connect to the test apps!

What happened?

I am having a problem running detox on android. The app builds successfully on my emulator but for some reason all the tests fail. Below is the error I receive:

HINT: 

   Have you forgotten to call 'device.launchApp()' in the beginning of your test?
   Refer to our troubleshooting guide, for full details: https://wix.github.io/Detox/docs/troubleshooting/running-tests#tests-execution-hangs

   The following package could not be delivered:

  {
     type: 'invoke',
     params: [Object],
     messageId: 30
   }

I did some searching through your GitHub issues and noticed this person encountered the same issue as me: https://github.com/wix/Detox/issues/3233

I went ahead and updated the DetoxTest.java file and retriggered the test and I still am unable to successfully run tests on android.

What was the expected behaviour?

Detox should run successfully on Android

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.
