Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Please remember that with sample code it's easier to reproduce the bug and it's much faster to fix it.

Please git clone https://github.com/appium/appium and from the sample-code directory, use one of your favourite languages and sample apps to reproduce the issue.

In case a similar scenario is missing in sample-code, please submit a PR with one of the sample apps provided.

Start with io.appium.java_client.TestUtils.resourcePathToLocalPath at TestUtils.java:27, then trace its use from TestResources.jch and BaseAndroidTest.beforeClass. Reproduce the Windows JUnit failure with the reported APK resource path and verify that the resulting local path is accepted by java.nio.file.Paths.
