How to stop appium from clearing the Android app data?

I am getting this issue after upgrading my appium version to 1.6.3 . Whenever I use driver.launchApp(); command, it clears the app data, due to this I am not able to execute the next tese cases.

I tried setting the below Desired capability as well but still it is clearing the app data every time when I try to launch the app.

capabilities.setCapability("noReset", "true");

So the scenario is, I login to the application then relaunch the app and appium clears the app data and again the login screen appears which should not appear.

Below are the logs in which we can clearly see that appium is clearing the app data.

[debug] [ADB] Running 'C:\Users\Vinod\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\adb.exe' with args: ["-P",5037,"-s","079a1ea4d037eeb7","shell","am","force-stop","PACKAGENAME"]

As desired capabilities are deprecated, thought this would be helpful.

using .noReset() and .doesNoReset() helped in my case, find full snippet below.

    var ltOptions = new HashMap<String, Object> ();
    
    ltOptions.put("deviceName", "Redmi K20 Pro");
    ltOptions.put("platformName", "Android");
    ltOptions.put("platformVersion", "11");
    ltOptions.put("udid", "aaa88c0");
    
    var options1 = new UiAutomator2Options();
    options1.setUdid("aaa88c0");
    options1.noReset();
    options1.doesNoReset();
    options1.setClearSystemFiles(false);

    URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4723/wd/hub");
    AndroidDriver driver1 = new AndroidDriver(url, options1);

hope you got the solution. If not you can try this. Appium version 1.14.2

        DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
        cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET, "False");
        cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NO_RESET, "True");

You need to add below code in capablity

DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability("noReset", "true");
cap.setCapability("fullReset", "false");

It worked for me.

If you remove the driver.launchApp(); statement then it should be working perfectly.

You do not need to call this method because appium does it for you when starting your server with capabilities.

make sure that this capability is set: Although the default value for this capability is false, still its worth a try.

capabilities.setCapability("fullReset", "false");

if it doesn't work please provide a code sample from your project.
