Interaction.devicelogs is empty

[chanhduc]

Dear,

I tried to use your ActivitySeenSummary model feature but I realized that devicelogs of all interactions are empty. Do I have to configure anything to record devicelogs for each interaction?

Thank you.

Hi,

Those logs are created using "inlined" apks, where the API calls are monitored.

The monitor is available at:
https://github.com/uds-se/droidmate-monitor/

You should inline your apk with it to log the start activity calls and should run this inline apk with the flag: --Deploy-installMonitor=true

Please note that this feature is highly experimental and works only on Android 6 to 9

Hi,

After I inline apk, I cannot install the apk on the emulator. The installation process appeared the error:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES: Package /data/app/vmdl661139191.tmp/base.apk has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml]

From your wiki (https://github.com/uds-se/droidmate/wiki/Monitoring-and-restricting-APIs), you noticed that "Note: Inlined apps do not work on emulators." Is that the reason for this issue?

Could you attach the apk for debugging?

I haven't seen this error yet and cannot reproduce with the apks which I normally use for testing.

I forgot to add an answer to this point.

We use the library ArtHook as a proxy between the app and the OS. This library doesn't support x86 architecture, just ARM.

Assuming everything is working since there was no feedback after the solution
