Bypassing the passcode on Android devices
During Manual Test sessions, if your Android devices or applications require a passcode for security or any specific testing purpose, Kobiton will help you to automatically bypass the passcode (number only) and continue your test execution by following these steps:
Setup on Android version from 4.4.2 to 7.x¶
Step 1: Generate data for Kobiton desktop app
- Plug device to Kobiton desktop
- Go to this folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Kobiton/devices
- Go to the folder with the device’s UDID as a name
-
Create a new TextEdit Document file with following structure and filename is “data” and replace “0000” with the passcode you want to set for the device (4-10 numbers):
{ “type”: “pin”, “key”: “0000” }
Step 2: Set the passcode on your Android device(s)
- On the Android device, access the screenlock and type as PIN with the key above.
Step 3: Unplug & plug to register the device again and start your testing
Setup on Android version from 8.x to 10¶
Just do Step 1 and Step 3 as above and enjoy your testing.
