I tried with modifying dependency in Pom.xml file, rebuild my maven project Tried Maven Clean

Can anyone please help me if anyone face this issue and able to resolve it

Answer 1

Update your appium-java-client maven dependency version to 8.3.0.

Answer 2

Try adding the below dependencies to your pom.xml file. It worked for me.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-api</artifactId>
    <version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>

And if you are using appium 2.0.0-beta.46 version, recommend to use the below dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
    <version>8.2.1</version>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-api</artifactId>
    <version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
    <version>4.6.0</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
    <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
    <version>7.6.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
