How to Fetch App Activity and App Package
Identify an Android app's package name and activity name to configure Appium automation tests.
Overview
In mobile app test automation, App Package and App Activity help you identify and interact with the app's components during the testing process, especially in the context of Android apps.
App Package is the unique identifier of an Android app, defined in the app's manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml). It acts as the main reference point for locating and interacting with the app. App Activity refers to the specific screen or component of the app that the user interacts with. For example, in the Licious app used to order meat, the splash screen is the initial activity.

Navigate to the Play Store on your mobile device.

Open the APK Info app to view a list of all installed apps and their details.
The app displays all installed applications along with their package names.
