I’m developing an automated testing process for an Android app that requires resetting the app to a consistent ground state between test sequences. The workflow is as follows:

1. Start with the phone in a ground state
2. Execute a series of test steps
3. Automatically reset the app to its ground state
4. Execute a different set of test steps
5. Repeat

I’ve encountered challenges in automating the reset process (step 3). I can only access the app through adb.

Here are the approaches I’ve attempted so far:

• Replacing files in the data/data/<app_package> directory with a pre-saved reset state.
• Using the pm reset command.
• Tried backup using bmgr command (which doesn’t work for the particular apps, I am trying to automate: Samsung Contact, Samsung Accounts).
• Backup methods like titanium (can not be automated).

I can not switch the operating system. I have rooted my phone. Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
