Install

adb push ape.jar /data/local/tmp/

Run

We install a script in /data/loca/tmp/ape. So you can simply launch ape via adb shell /data/local/tmp/ape.

We also provide a python script (i.e., ape.py) to facilitate running ape on Android devices in your local machine. The following command starts to run Ape to test the Calculator on a real device connected via adb.

./ape.py -p com.google.android.calculator --running-minutes 100 --ape sata

For emulator, we can try the following command.

export SERIAL=emulator-5554 && ./ape.py -p com.google.android.calculator --running-minutes 100 --ape sata

Check the ape.py if you want to run Ape with an emulator or more devices.

Options:

• -p: specify the package name, the same as Monkey
• --running-minutes: the total testing time in minutes
• --ape sata: use the exploration strategy described in the paper.
  • Another exploration strategy is random.
