hello

I have a scenario in which i need to tap on an element on mobile screen, and i referred to articles provided online and this forum as well. This is how i am trying to tap on the element by finding the rect, i am trying this in android emulator

Android version:11  
appium:1.22.3  
java:11

```
Rectangle eleRect = getElement(locator).getRect();
	int tapX = (int) (eleRect.x + (eleRect.width / 2));
	int tapY = (int) (eleRect.y + (eleRect.height / 2));
	log.info("location: " + tapX + " " + tapY);
	PointerInput finger = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.TOUCH, "finger");
	Sequence tapPoint = new Sequence(finger, 1);

```

// Move finger into start position  
tapPoint.addAction(finger.createPointerMove(Duration.ofMillis(100), PointerInput.Origin.viewport(), tapX, tapY));  
tapPoint.addAction(finger.createPointerDown(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));  
tapPoint.addAction((new Pause(finger, Duration.ofMillis(100))));  
tapPoint.addAction(finger.createPointerUp(PointerInput.MouseButton.LEFT.asArg()));  
driver.perform(Arrays.asList(tapPoint));

but it fails at line driver,perform(Arrays.asList(tapPoint))

after trying to do perform action tap , looks like it is stuck forever and did not perform tap and after a while fails with timeout error

The appium logs show the below:

For the routing error that occurs even when i start appium

i tried to start server and i still get this error, i tried to remove wd/hub but then it is on client side, then i see different issue Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser

i get this “No route” error when i start appium via command line and i have tried all the suggestions for example passing --base-path /wd/hub still no luck, would be grateful if anyone can help here.  
Thanks in advance
