Could not connect to server to Appium server

Issues/Bugs
1

Iam using Appium-Inspector-windows-2024.2.2-x64 . I have allowed cors from advanced settings . Still when Iam trying to start the session Iam getting this error that

" Could not connect to Appium server URL ‘http://0.0.0.0:4723/’. Please check if the server is running and the URL is correct (valid URLs can be found at the start of the Appium server log). If you are using the Inspector’s browser version, ensure the server has been started with ‘–allow-cors’."

These are my desired capabilities:

{
  "platformName": "Android",
  "appium:platformVersion": "13",
  "appium:deviceName": "Oneplus Nord CE2",
  "appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2",
  "appium:appPackage": "com.app.user",
  "appium:appActivity": "com.app.user.ui.activity"
}

These are my Appium server details

Hi Guys thanks for your time in helping me .

I have come through this link

where I have given capabilities

“appium:ignoreHiddenApiPolicyError”: “true”,
“appium:noReset”: “true”

Then it worked successfully .

@Aleksei @mykola-mokhnach Thank you so much for taking time in helping me .

uuuu. use terminal better to start it. And install Appium server without GUI with command line. You can later use BOTH as far as they install in different folders.
