Appium + Cucumber tests that work locally fail on Bitrise

[ncalaway]

I am trying to run tests that work locally, but they always fail on Bitrise. The first thing that has to happen is the automation has to login, which works about half of the time, but I haven’t seen it actually reach the next screen. I don’t see the emulator crash, but the tests fail to find elements on the screen.

My emulator settings are as follows:
Profile: pixel
Android API Level: 26
OS Tag: google_apis
ABI: x86
ID: emulator
Create AVD flags: --sdcard_512M
Start AVD command flags: -camera-back none -no-boot-anim -no-window -no-audio
Emulator channel: 0

Please help
