Apk Does Not Have Internet Permissions. Selendroid Needs Internet Permission To Proceed

I am using android 4.1.2 whose APK level is 16. This is my python code: def setUp(self): 'Setup for the test' desired_caps = {} desired_caps['automation

Solution 1:

The application under test should have following permissions in the AndroidManifest.xmlfile in the code outside the <application> tag :

<uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Quoting from http://appium.io/introduction.html?lang=en under Design

The vendor-provided frameworks we use are:

iOS: Apple's UIAutomation Android

4.2+: Google's UiAutomator Android

2.3+: Google's Instrumentation. (Instrumentation support is provided by bundling a separate project, Selendroid)

So the API level at which you are testing and the automation type you are using creates the difference in how appium tries to access your application.
