Android app crashing abruptly in Emulator

Context : Emulator is getting started properly. App installation is successful. However will running the appium tests the app is crashing abruptly.
The same test is running fine in local so we’re not suspecting our test code. We are thinking something is going wrong with the emulator.

Questions:

  1. How can we get detailed logs of emulator crash?
  2. Are we missing some emulator config which might be causing this?

Hello there @umair_reed :wave:

Sorry to hear about your issue. Since we do not directly support Appium, it is also a bit harder to debug it or to get more detailed information about what happens during the time it is running on the Virtual Machine.
Normally, if you were using a prebuilt step, such as the Android Build for UI testing, you would have more available options for debugging, but you can also export the build reports to Test Reports, so you might see more information about where the tests fail: Exporting to Test Reports from any Step | Bitrise DevCenter

If you still have issues with the emulator crashing, could you please send us a build URL of the related build and enable Support Access on the Settings tab of the app (Enabling the Bitrise Support user for your app | Bitrise DevCenter), so that we may take a closer look? :slight_smile:
