[TestMethod]
public void LaunchBrowser()
{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.SetCapability("device", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability(CapabilityType.BrowserName, "Chrome");
// capabilities.SetCapability("app-package", "com.android.browser");
//capabilities.SetCapability("app-activity", "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity");

capabilities.SetCapability("deviceName", "Galaxy Nexus");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.SetCapability("platformVersion", "4.2.2");
capabilities.SetCapability("device ID", "emulator-5554");
AppiumDriver<IWebElement> driver;
driver = new AndroidDriver<IWebElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),
capabilities);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.dsstage.drugstore.com/");

Step 16: Download chrome apk from google and install chrome browser in
emulator
Step 17: Check once chrome browser installed successfully or not in opened
emulator

Step 18: Run Appium test program from visual studio

Step 19:Observe Appium server logs and 5554 emulator

Step 20: Itll automatically opens the chrome browser

Issues:
1. If unlock app will not installed in emulator means sometimes it will not unlock
automatically
2. I am able to launch installed chrome browser from emulator but there is an
issue with installed chrome version for that particular api level emulator I am trying

to resolve this by using different combinations for chrome versions and api levels
emulators.
