If your app is not installed on the test device then you need to provide appium:app capability with the path to the *.apk file. If your app is already installed on the device then you can try adding appium:noReset capability with value true.

Thanks for the answer! It turned out to be much easier than I thought. I didn't specify practically anything in capability except platformName,Device Name and everything worked. – Kosta Nov 24 '22 at 10:57

hey have you tried adding this capability?

desired_caps['appWaitActivity'] = '*'

for pycharm and

appium:appWaitActivity text *

into appiuminspector this worked for me.
