Using Appium, Whenever executing adb_shell command getting an error saying potentially insecure feature 'adb shell' has not been enabled

***I try running appium by command line with this appium --relaxed-security and it works. I try to check this link


Solution

  • Based on Security server arguments documentation, you have to run Appium server with either --relaxed-security or --allow-insecure=adb_shell argument. The latter is recommended here if you only want to use ADB and do not need other insecure features.

    --allow-insecure=adb_shell will cause only the ADB shell execution feature to be enabled. This is true unless --relaxed-security is also used, in which case all features will still be enabled.
