Bitrise Build Issue Report template

Description of the issue

Sometimes, my workflow is aborted with “Lost connection to build agent” reason when running Android Monkey Testing on a AVD. This problem does not happen every time though. I would say it’s happening 30% of the time.

Android Monkey Testing info: https://developer.android.com/studio/test/monkey

Environment:

Stack: Android & Docker, on Ubuntu 16.04
Standard Machine

If on Bitrise.io: which stack? If not on Bitrise.io: on what operating system? (Plus any other information you can share)

Which build Step causes the issue and which version of the step?

Gradle Runner 1.9.0

I have a custom gradle task that builds the apk, installs it in the AVD and then start the monkey test
