WebDriverException: 'css selector' is not valid or implemented searching strategy error in automation of windows application using Winium

I'm new to the winium and trying to automate the process. every time i run the code im getting an error:

WebDriverException: 'css selector' is not valid or implemented searching strategy.

Below is my code:-

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

# starting the file 
os.startfile(r'C:\Users\RTamb\Desktop\python basics\web scraping\winium\Winium.Desktop.Driver\Winium.Desktop.Driver.exe')

driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor='http://localhost:9999',
desired_capabilities={"debugConnectToRunningApp": 'false',
'app': r'C:\Users\RTamb\Desktop\BO\All Cases (V1.0 New Final Build)_New.rep',
'args': '-port 345'})


driver.find_element_by_id('Edit').click()

I have tried tried multiple method like .find_element_by_name(), find_element_by_class_name, find_element_by_css_selector()

This error message...

WebDriverException: 'css selector' is not valid or implemented searching strategy.

...implies that the searching strategy you have used is not a valid locator strategy

With the availability of find_element_by_* commands are deprecated.

Accordlingly, instead of:

driver.find_element_by_id('Edit').click()

You have to:

driver.find_element(By.ID, "Edit").click()
