Can I use appium to test the launcher app ie without pushing it to the device
<p>We are creating a custom launcher app on an android device that we need to test using appium.</p>

<p>I would like to write tests for an app that is already installed and running on the device under test ie without launching it as it is already launched. </p>

<p>ie I would like to skip the following step as the launcher app on our device is protected from tampering.
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "/Users/katrinameadows/Desktop/MessagingUi-publish-04.11.01.apk");</p>

<p>thank you in advance</p>
