My attempts to upload a file to through Chrome using Appium have consistently resulted in an ERR_ACCESS_DENIED error.
The file I am trying to upload is located in the Download folder on my device.
Please see the image below:

Despite experimenting with various combinations of capabilities such as
noReset, autoGrantPermissions, fastResetHere is My Script:
from appium import webdriver
import time
def execute_script():
driver = webdriver.Remote(
command_executor='http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub',
desired_capabilities={
"platform": "android",
"platformName": "android",
"platformVersion": "10",
"deviceName": "<xxxx>",
"udid": "<xxxx>",
"browserName": "chrome",
"automationName": "UIAutomator2",
"chromeOptions": {
"w3c": False
},
# "autoGrantPermissions": True,
# "noReset": True,
# "fastReset": True,
# "fullReset": False
}
)
driver.get('https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/upload')
up = driver.find_element_by_id("file-upload")
up.send_keys("/sdcard/Download/file.pdf")
driver.find_element_by_id("file-submit").click()
driver.quit()
driver = execute_script()
Although the script executes smoothly until the send_keys step, clicking file-submit triggers the mentioned error. The same scenario occurs when attempting this on .
Details of Versions Used:
- Appium Version:
1.17.0(Tried versions ranging from1.10.xto1.20.x) - Device: Samsung Galaxy S9, Android 10
- Chromedriver: 90.0.4430.24 (Encountered the same error with Chrome 81)
Attempts Made So Far:
- I explicitly granted permissions using the following command before starting Appium (and during the script execution in case permission settings reset), but the problem persisted.
adb -P 5037 shell 'pm grant com.android.chrome android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE'- In addition to specifying
browserName: "Chrome", I also tried providingappPackage and appActivityfor launching Chrome, yet without success.
Is there something crucial that I might be overlooking? This process works flawlessly on desktop browsers (using Selenium) but fails to run even once on my mobile device.
Please advise if there are any additional details I should provide.
I've raised an issue on Appium as well: https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/15293
