Android Instrumentation Failed

[VaunMakuza]

Hello!

I'm a new user of Ranorex (in fact using the trial to see if we want to use this program or not!) and I can't seem to deploy my APK to my android. I'm following the android user guide.

I used the test one they recommend to deploy and that works fine, but when I try one of my own APK's I get the following:

Instrumentation failed...

Please make sure that
- The APL is not obfuscated.
- You are using API level 8 or above.
- No uninstrumented APK version is installed on the device.

And the error details are:

System.TimeoutException: Deploying the application failed because it could not be deployed within the configured timeout of '00:01:00'.
at Ranorex.Plugin.Mobile.DeploymentService.WifiDeploymentService.SendData(IPAddress addr, Int32 port, String path, String packageName)
at Ranorex.Plugin.Mobile.DeploymentService.WifiDeploymentService.DoDeployment()


Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Tyler

Hello Tyler,

Another user had a similar issue which was discussed in the topic "Instrumented Android APK failed (Error occurred)" which can be found using the following URL: http://www.ranorex.com/forum/instrument ... t4092.html
Please let me know if this doesn't solve your problem.

Hey Bernhard,

Thanks for the reply!

I looked over the page you linked, and our API is over level 8, (level 10 actually), and is not obfuscated. And it looks like Ranorex is above version 4, so the special characters shouldn't be an issue anymore! So not really sure whats causing it not to work!

Thanks!

Hi VaunMakuza,

You can also try to instrument the *.apk file with Source Code as described in the section "Instrumentation with Source Code" in our user guide.
If this is not possible it would be a big help to get you *.apk file in order to analyze the issue in more detail.
If you do not want to post your *.apk file in the forum you can also send it to [email protected].

Regards,
Bernhard

Hi samira,

May I ask you if you have already tried increasing the "Deploy time out" in the Global Settings -> Plugins Tab?

Sometimes it can happen that the deployment of bigger application needs more than one minute. Therefore, please try increasing this value to two or more.

Please let me know if the problem still occurs afterwards.
