We want to go ahead. It is possible that the next version is 5.0.0. The general plan:

  • To make AppiumDriver the non-abstract class;

  • to make it use any mobile-specific search engine which extends MobileBy

  • to unbind some gesture methods from AppiumDriver and subclasses;

  • to make gestures atomized and robust

  • to migrate source code to JDK 8 (9?)

  • to migrate the building to gradle.

@Kyle
Hi. It seems your project has another dependency on Spring. And that dependency is much older than the version which we use. This older dependency has not contain this class

Please chech artefacts which your project depends on. When you find some Spring artefact v < 4.3.2 please remove it from your dependency declaration or add it to exclusion.

This situation looks like common dependency conflict generally.

PS: Sometimes I hate Java.
