How to install app via .apk file

[arthuRHD]

You can use Android Debug Bridge CLI to push your apk inside your device, and install it from your local machine

adb -P 5037 [ -s %UDID_IF_MULTIPLE_DEVICE% ] push /path/to/local.apk /data/local/tmp/downloaded.apk
adb -P 5037 [ -s %UDID_IF_MULTIPLE_DEVICE% ] shell pm install -r /data/local/tmp/downloaded.apk

@arthuRHD - imagine I have CICD pipeline:

1. in some repo apk app is release
2. trigger is started which should completely rebuild emulator with this new app installed and automatically started on docker start so its immediatelly available on web screen.

Can I pack emulater with this apk, install and start it on docker-andorid redeploy on kubernetes cluster?

I am new to android emulators, so thx for patience. 👍

I installed an apk using this command inside the container.

androidusr@15be855c644c:~$ adb -e install /tmp/test.apk 
Performing Streamed Install
Success

But I cannot find it on the emulator UI.
