Android App is not able to open in Appium Automation in android OS 7 Nougat

i try to open the Android app in Nougat 7 or above android version but there is a error show in appium, the error is bellow.

info: [debug] Responding to client with error: {"status":33,"value":{"message":"A new session could not be created. (Original error: Command failed: Failed to install C:\Program Files (x86)\Appium\node_modules\appium\build\settings_apk\settings_apk-debug.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]\r\n)","killed":false,"code":1,"signal":null,"origValue":"Command failed: Failed to install C:\Program Files (x86)\Appium\node_modules\appium\build\settings_apk\settings_apk-debug.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]\r\n"},"sessionId":null}

The issue you are facing was fixed in recent Appium server release 1.7.1.

In change log under Android section you will find

Add support to force upgrade settings app

So your steps now:

  1. Update appium server: npm install [email protected] -g
  2. Rerun your test

Try uninstalling the app manually if it already exists on the device. If it does not, try an erase/reset of the device itself. I've run into upgrade/overwrite issues in the past that were resolved by cleaning up the device.
