timeout when starting_server_in_the_background in calabash android using calabash console

Question

I have updated my gemfile -

frozen_string_literal: true

source "https://rubygems.org"

git_source(:github) {|repo_name| "https://github.com/#{repo_name}" }
gem 'calabash-android', '0.9.5'
gem 'rubyzip', '1.2.1'

gem "rails"

and also added this in gemfile as well source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'calabash-android', '0.9.5'
gem 'cucumber'
gem 'mongo'
gem 'json'
gem 'rubyzip', '1.2.1'

but still having issues - RuntimeError: Failed to start application. Starting took more than 60 seconds: HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError - execution expired. Can anyone help to resolve it.

Answer 1

This was a bug in calabash-android 0.9.6. the workaround is working if you use the calabash-android 0.9.5 and rubyzip 1.2.1.

Your configuration is ok but you need to delete the instrument_backend app in the application list on the devices too. Check this thread.
