- The execute mobile command action can be invoked to execute any commands that are supported by Appium. (For further details, refer to the Help topic for this action in docs (Note that in Android, when using the
mobile:shellcommand, adb shell requires permission to execute on the device. Additionally, the script must be wrapped with the argumentcommand. For example, to list all packages, the argument would be{'command': 'pm list packages'})). Learn more above.
