Possible duplication of https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver/issues/449

[hiqqs]

I have a very similar issue, can you post your build.gradle

[vzenzo]

I see a lot of people with same issue as me and still no solution...sticking to UIAutomator2 until these things get fixed, I am having a headaches from "simple setup and simple use" Espresso...

[KazuCocoa]

I understand your feedback very well, but Espresso itself strongly depends on each project, unlike UIA2. (We also very happy to find such general preference for Espresso.)

Hi, i want to ask about how to use this appium with espresso driver. Do we have to add espresso dependencies in the android application?
