// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Six questions. Speed bonus active.

Battle teaser

To stop permission dialogs from derailing Android test flows, the UiAutomator2 capability:

  1. ARunning the suite as root
  2. BUninstalling Google Play services
  3. Cappium:skipDialogs: true
  4. Dappium:autoGrantPermissions: true, granting the app's declared permissions at install so prompts never appear
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
