Hello,

Thank you for the APK file. We will take a look into this issue and get back to you as soon as possible. The related developer is out of office this week, so it might take a little longer.

Hello,

We looked at the issue. Unfortunately it is not possible to make android web tests at the moment. We are working on this issue and will add this feature in one of our next releases. You can try to make the instrumentation with Source Code, but we can not guarantee that it works.

Hi

tried with several Skype apk files from internet. Attached one of them.
(tried several times to attach the file and won't include it - IE nor Mozilla)

Thanks,
Alina

Hello,

Thank you for the files. We tested both APKs. The 'GO Contacts.apk' works without problems, but the APK from Skype doesn't work. This is an issue of building the resources. Unfortunately there is no way to fix it. One way would be to instrument the APK with Source Code, but I'm afraid that you need the sources to do so.

Hi

Can you name an apk that I can use for a Ranorex - android demo that really works? (except KeePass application) tried several ones - and if intrumentation is succesfull then, it won't reccognize the actions - that was the case for GoContacts (can not use Ranorex to automate adding contacts action).

Thank you

Hello,

You could, e.g. try the apk from the MoneyManager app. This is an app we use for demos too.
