My intended use for the app involves installing it and then opening a browser session on my mobile device, which will subsequently open a specific link. I rely on the link being opened in the mobile browser to launch the app. If you suggest removing the other apps’ capabilities, do you have any suggestions for a workaround that would allow me to achieve my use case?

Hey Ian,

I would suggest you run the normal App Automation test, and then you can open the Chrome browser by using the activate app method by passing in the Chrome App Package.
