  2. Open Android Studio and start an emulator compatible with Test Harness.
    For help with emulators in Android Studio, see Run an app on the Android Emulator (Google).
  3. Using Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows), navigate to your Downloads folder.
  4. Find the Test Harness APK file you downloaded, and drag it onto a running Android emulator.
