🔴 Repeated emulator starts retain old state
When a runner starts the emulator again,
prebuiltAvdstill marks the previously used AVD reusable. The next session inherits its installed apps and device data instead of starting fresh.Learn more
A matching manifest remains in the AVD directory after a successful boot. checkPrebuiltAvdAsync checks the manifest and file presence but not whether that AVD has already served a session. A later call to the start function therefore skips createAsync, which previously recreated the device with
--force. Device changes from the first session persist into the next one.Example: A workflow starts
EasAndroidDevice01, installs an APK, shuts it down, and starts it again. The second start boots the old user-data image with that APK still installed rather than a clean device.Recommended fix: Mark the prebuilt AVD as consumed before its first runtime boot, or create a per-session copy of the pristine image and boot the copy. Ensure subsequent calls on the same runner recreate or restore clean user data, including after a failed boot.
