[Android] Issue with Immersive mode image failing tests

[WMichael]

Hello 👋

When running the visual regression tests for Android locally and on the pipeline the app loads into immersive mode and shows the following message.
This is fine locally as I can just click on Got it and it won't show on any subsequent test runs but on the pipeline this isn't possible.

We have found a way of dismissing this message locally by running this adb command before taking the screenshot
exec('adb shell input text "mock\\ text"');
But when trying this on the pipeline, the latest screenshot shows the navigational buttons and top status bar as so.

Is there a more effective way of dismissing that Android message?

Hi @WMichael – thanks for reaching out! Are you at liberty to share some more details about what your CI pipeline setup looks like? We have some documentation on running Android in GitHub Actions – I'm curious how close your setup is to that outlined in the docs.

Regarding CI, we're running into the same issues thart the one logged ar #123

This is standard behavior on Android devices the first time one runs an application in immersive mode.

I got around this by running the following after starting the emulator but before starting tests. Ideally, react-native-owl should handle this, but I have no idea where one would add the code.

adb shell settings put secure immersive_mode_confirmations confirmed
