I am using Appium and ADB failed to install APK on my Samsung Device

Question

Here is my code:

@Test
public void testAppium() throws MalformedURLException{

//Capabilities

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();

capability.setCapability("platformName", "Android");

// Nexus Device
//capability.setCapability("deviceName", "Nexus 5");
//capability.setCapability("platformVersion", "6.0.1");
//capability.setCapability("udid","RF8N21BNXHY");

// Galaxy S20
capability.setCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy S20");
capability.setCapability("platformVersion", "12");
capability.setCapability("udid","RF8N21BNXHY");
capability.setCapability("appWaitPackage", "abc");
capability.setCapability("appWaitActivity","abc");
File file = new File("C:\\Users\\ShahreenMushtaq\\new\\Test\\app-zameen-live-release 
(1).apk");
capability.setCapability("app", file.getAbsolutePath());

Same code is working for Nexus device having OS version 6.0.1, but not working for samsung devices.

Error:

Kindly help me in debugging, Thanks in advance.

Actually there can be issue on to your file_path.

Can you try with below caps. But first uninstall your appium setting from device. And along with this do these changes.

Provide path in file path on windows(\filename.apk) example:

String apkpath="<PATH_FOR_APK>";

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("udid", udid);
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", platformVersion);
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "<YOUR_SPLASHACTIVITY>");
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("automationName","UiAutomator2");
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("noReset",false);
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout",120);
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "<YOUR_APP_PACKAGENAME>");
File app=new File(apkpath);
    capabilities.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());
