Start Appium server either by launching Appium Desktop app (preferred) or by executing
$ appium .
List the available android simulators (which are installed on your machine)
$ emulator -list-avds
Launch an android simulator device for appium to connect to
$ emulator @avd
For example, if you named your device Pixel_API_29, replace avd above with Pixel_API_29. If you encounter an error launching the emulator, make sure to add ${ANDROID_SDK}/emulator to your PATH in your bash_profile file so that the correct emulator binary is prioritized. Make sure you get the following path:
$ which emulator
$ /Users/frozenbe/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator
Go back to current repository (rac-mobile-tests), and follow the steps below:
# Change into the appium directory
$ cd appium
# Launch all maven tests
$ mvn verify
