[karthik]

Hi,

I was new user of ranorex and I was not able to deploy my APK to my android. I'm following the android user guide. I am using latest Ranorex and gets following error gets displayed


Instrumentation failed...

Please make sure that
- The API 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:

Hi Karthikeyan,

May I ask you to use the instrumentation flags as described in this posting?

Please do let me know if this solves the problem.
Thanks & Regards,
