Answer 1

Working after changing the correct App path(apk path).

Answer 2

I solved this issue by just changing the app path

 capabilities.setCapability("app", <<apk file path>>);

Answer 3

Please check the packages that you included selenium 2.53.1 source and 2.53.1 jar. and include all the jar files present in the lib folder after extracting selenium 2.53.1. -use testng.xml file to set the flow of the test case.
