#54 has introduced integration tests for the client application. The CI configuration does not support running full-fledged integration tests in an Android emulator in the virtualized CI environment. This ticket is responsible for achieving this task. The integration tests currently located at client/test/integration should be moved to client/integration_test. This will also make the run_on_device.{ps1|bat|sh} scripts obsolete. It is not yet decided whether a separate CI job for integration test is desired (as opposed to executing both unit as well as integration tests in the same job).
