Thanks @SergeyTichomirov. Chromedriver verison v2.12 is supported and its working fine for me. I’m able to access the webviews. I have tried in LG Optimus G2 with android version v4.4.2 and replaced the old chromedriver (Appium v1.3.1)
Hi @PRABU90,
Could you please help me resolve this issue, as I am using 2.12 chrome driver but still getting error as below:

Hi sujata_kalluri:
Only one chrome driver session is allowed at a time. Just check whether the driver is running in somewhere. Try this work-around: kill chrome driver process through task manager. It may work.
Hi @PRABU90,
I tried but did not work. Any other alternate?
Also, on my machine, I have Chrome version 39, but still in Appium logs it shows below lines:
unknown error: Chrome version must be >= 36.0.1985.0\n (Driver info: chromedriver=2.12.301325
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Sujata
@sujata_kalluri: Have you deleted the chromedriver.exe under both the process tab and applications tab in task manager??
Yes, but i will retry again. I am using below versions of libraries:
Appium: 1.2.4.1
Selenium Jars: 2.43.1
Java Client: 2.0.0
Please let me know if these are compatible and/or if there are any changes required.
Thanks,
Sujata
Hi,
Issue is resolved using Chromedriver from below link:

i tried with 2.14 version of chrome…but still getting same error
Does your chome work fine when you launch it manually?
I tried with chrome beta 41m, it is launching manually in 4.4 kitkat, but automation tests are not running on chrome
PLz check process=chromedriver.exe in Task Manager (cltr+Alt+Del) before running ur test script
if it is there then delete that process and run again … ur problem is resolved.
Sergey, that’s great it is working well for me.
@ashokkumarg
