Appium dump error ERROR due to inability to load assets: Invalid file Support

I am using Linux and I want to write tests using Appium. At the moment, I have installed all the necessary tools to run it (Node is installed not via brew install node, but using nvm install node). Appium runs on localhost (Welcome to Appium v1.4.6 info: Appium REST http listener interface started on 0.0.0.0:4723 info: Console LogLevel: debug)

My code: public class MyTestApp {

private AppiumDriver<AndroidElement> driver;

@Test
public void mytestapptest () throws MalformedURLException {

    File file = new File("/home/kacinauskasl/workspace/appiumTests/AppiumProject/apk/myapk.apk");

    DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capability.setCapability("deviceName", "HTC");
    capability.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    capability.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.0.2");
    capability.setCapability("app", file.getAbsolutePath());        

    driver = new AndroidDriver<>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capability);  

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

}

When I run it through TestNG or Junit, I get the error:

warn: W/zipro ( 7260): Error opening archive /home/kacinauskasl/workspace/appiumTests/AppiummProject/apk/myapk.apk: Invalid file

My goal at the moment is to run the application on an AVD or real device.

I would really appreciate any help.
