I am testing hybrid app, which has native and webview part, plus webview has multiple windows (around 8 to 10). I want to switch between these windows.

I am executing parallelly on multiple android devices with Appium Server running on different ports for each device.

But i am getting following error ,While switching between windows :

I face this issue only while executing on multiple devices.
When i execute on single device, i am able to switch between windows.

I am able to execute scripts belongs to native and webview part of app parallelly on multiple android devices Simultaneously.(but not able to switch between windows)

I was not facing above mentioned issues on Appium 1.6.4.

Environment :

Appium 1.7.1
multiple android devices (like 7.0 and 6.0).

I am using following code to launch start appium server for each device (android):
AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().usingPort(port)
** .withArgument(AndroidServerFlag.BOOTSTRAP_PORT_NUMBER, chromePort)**
** .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)**
** .withArgument(AndroidServerFlag.CHROME_DRIVER_PORT, bootstrapPort));**

** service.start();**
