Specify Device State - Install other app parameter not showing about aws-device-farm-jenkins-plugin HOT 3 OPEN

Hi,
We don't currently have build-in support to install other apps to a device via the Jenkins plugin, and don't plan to add it for the near future. There are 2 possible ways you can get around this today:

(1) you can include your extra apps along with your test bundle, then select the "custom environment" mode, which allows you to define your test steps. Then, when defining your test steps in a YAML test spec file, tell the test runner to install your additional apps right before your test starts.

(2) since our Jenkins plugin is open source, you can actually add the code yourself for uploading an additional app. The code would look very similar to our existing code for uploading a single app. Check out the source code here:
https://github.com/awslabs/aws-device-farm-jenkins-plugin

and check out the docs on uploading additional apps via the API here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/APIReference/API_CreateUpload.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/APIReference/API_ScheduleRunConfiguration.html#devicefarm-Type-ScheduleRunConfiguration-auxiliaryApps

Thanks anurag1408.

This would be a nice feature to have if any one has the capacity to implement it.

I see this is still not supported. Any plan to support this request?
