For running tests with geckodriver on Android some Firefox options are supported:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/WebDriver/Capabilities/firefoxOptions#android

As I noticed at least androidPackage can be used to escape the expected location of the yaml file:

"androidPackage": "../foo"

which results in:

/mnt/sdcard/../foo/-geckodriver-profile
1593550317589 geckodriver::android DEBUG Pushing GeckoView configuration file to /data/local/tmp/../foo/-geckoview-config.yaml

Nick, would it be ok to restrict the androidPackage name to starting with org.mozilla.? Or do we have apps, which are ourside of our domain?

Also what's the best way to retrieve all the available activities for a package? The following command seems to only return the default activity:

cmd package resolve-activity --brief org.mozilla.geckoview_example | tail -n 1 | cut -d '/' -f 2

James, maybe you can help (in case Nick isn't around these days)? Please see my last two comments. Thanks.

I just found the following:

Would that match the list of possible intents to run? Maybe some of these cannot be used?

I don't see why we'd restrict quite so much -- we want other folks to use this, right?

But you're absolutely correct that we should verify the package exists on the device, or similar to avoid unsafe path computations. I'm not particularly concerned about this particular escape because the permissions of the device are likely to stop most mayhem. But it's worth addressing in any situation.

Ok, I will use a generic regex that is equal to what the following page tells about the application id:
https://developer.android.com/studio/build/application-id

Nick, could you also help regarding the other question in finding all the intents of an application? Maybe it's not necessary to do and the command will simply fail. Also I don't think intent names are easy to check with a regex.

Depends on D82226

Fair enough.

I am not aware of a meaningful way to do this. You can list them by inspecting the manifest, but many of them won't actually do anything useful. Best to just pass through the user's Intent specification; if it's wrong, the error message is pretty clear.
