When I run maestro studio or maestro test, I encountered error: IOException: Install failed It works well in an emulator and another new real device.

What I have tried:

1. Reboot Android device
2. Reboot Macbook
3. Uninstall dev.mobile.maestro by command: adb uninstall dev.mobile.maestro

Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

1. Uninstall dev.mobile.maestro.test
2. Install maestro-app.apk by adb install -r -d maestro-app.apk
3. When I listed all packages in device, no maestro-related app were found.

adb shell pm list packages -f | grep maestro

kill -9 $(lsof -t -i tcp:7001)
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i tcp:9999)

1. Deselect options in “Play Protect settings”

Environment

Android device:

Google Pixel 4 (Android 13)

macOS

Ventura 13.2 (Apple M1 Max)

maestro

• 1.23.0
