Hi! Does anyone know how to revoke a permission before a UI test? I use GrantPermissionRule to grant Location permission but once granted it stays granted and I can’t test the case when permission is not granted.

adb shell pm revoke com.name.app android.permission.READ_PROFILE

and you can it in @after method during instrumented tests?

With UIAutomator you can. I’m not sure if there is a better way

Hum... perfect, I’ll try it. It’s crazy that there’s almost no resources about testing permissions on the web.

If anyway you heard about nice articles about it  I’ll be really interested

I managed to have it working after lot of researches (not well documented).

Here is how I revoke permission:

```
val uiAutomation = InstrumentationRegistry.getInstrumentation().uiAutomation
uiAutomation.executeShellCommand("pm revoke ${getTargetContext().packageName} $ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION")
```
