I think this error is happening because I have not declared the signingConfigs for test package. If so , how do I declare it. ?
Please help. !!

I have solved the issue. Answering it so that it can be useful for someone else.

Solution is for Android Studio :

For the tests to run , the build variant should be debug. Build Variants window is present in the left side of the android studio, if not activated then activate it by click on Build variants tab present on the left side of the android studio.

You either have to change your build variant to debug, or add a testBuildType to your android tag inside your build.gradle file. Like this:

debug

testBuildType

android

build.gradle

android
...
testBuildType "release"



Clean Your Project.

Uninstall app if already install.

Now Run your project.

It's Completely Working for me.

Had the same problem even with Android Studio 3.x years later. Previous answers did not work for me.

Only cure was to explicitly add the permissions to the test app on the phone.
