Any one resolved this? If anyone is also facing same issue, please add your findings in comments.

Environment:

• Mac iOS Version : 10.12 [macOS Sierra]

Answer 1

Solution :

1. Verify version is appropriate for "guava"
2. If not Update version from link "guava_versions"
3. For me it started working again when updated below version under POM.XML
   • guava
   • selenium-android-driver
   • android
   • selenium-remote-driver

Answer 2

I just started to work on Appium From scratch. I installed Appium Server Desktop version on Windows (Appium Version 1.22.0)

Then I created Simple Java code to say deploy an app on Android Phone using below code:

 public static final String APPIUM_SERVER_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";

 DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();
 dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
 dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "10");
 dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, apk);
 dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "FA6C60304130");
 dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "UiAutomator2");
 dc.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true);

 driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(APPIUM_SERVER_URL), dc);

I am using 7.5.1 version of Java client:

 <dependency>
            <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
            <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
            <version>7.5.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

Not sure, why it is throwing below exception. In the past I used similar code to run my test. Only thing which was changed was Appium Server version and java-client version for Appium. Previously I used 4.1.2 version of java client and not sure which version of server.

Does anyone know what is the problem and how to get rid of it?
