Currently I am trying to perform the the most common things to start mobile automation testing (android and IOS). I've installed appium, android sdk, etc. (everything that is needed). I've written the following code:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rspec/core'
require 'touch_action'
require 'appium_lib'

describe "Mobile Web Gestures" do
  before(:all) do
    desired_caps = {
        caps: {
            platformName: 'Android',
            versionNumber: '4.3',
            deviceName: 'Sergey Kay (GT-I9300)',
            device: 'Android',
            app: '../app-mockBLE_SK.apk'
            # browserName: 'Chrome'
        }
    }
    @driver = Appium::Driver.new(desired_caps).start_driver
    @driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 120
  end

  it "performs mobile" do
    sleep 60
  end
end

But this code doesn't install and run the application. I see "A new session could not be created. (Original error: Remote install failed: pkg: /data/local/tmp/beb26e401b5b156e51450a453b9cd84a.apk\r\r\nFailure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK])","origValue":"Remote install failed: pkg: /data/local/tmp/beb26e401b5b156e51450a453b9cd84a.apk\r\r\nFailure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]" error in Apium. What can be wrong and what I've missed? Any suggestions how to improve this are welcome!

Please add full error. Also double check capabilities, could be simple mismatch there. – ievche Dec 15 '16 at 15:17

This issue is for Java((( I use Ruby. – Serhii Kaihorodov Dec 15 '16 at 15:48
Yep, but the issue is coming from App itself, not from your tests. You need newer Android version to run that application. – ievche Dec 15 '16 at 15:51
That is it!! I've tried on Android 6.0.1 and app started correctly! – Serhii Kaihorodov Dec 15 '16 at 15:58
Cool! I'd recommend google your error first next time :) – ievche Dec 15 '16 at 15:59
