Android testing on multiplie devices from Jenkins

I'm running Espresso test to test my application. The app have a first time login that requires a code from a text message.

The easiest way to get past the the first time login is to keep the same application installed so that the user data remains.

running the command:

./gradlew connectedAndroidTest

seem to remove the application when the tests are done. Is there any simple way to skip the uninstallation part and just run the tests on all connected devices?

Thank you.
