Java-Client v9.2.3 dependency causing error: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure

Issues/Bugs

I updated my appium java client dependency yesterday to version 9.2.3 and all of a sudden i get error when Initialising my appium/android/ios driver:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

The error occurs when initialising my driver:

URL url = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";
androidDriver = new AndroidDriver(url,cap);

I haven’t changed anything else in my code so could this be a bug in the latest Version? When i switch back to 9.2.2 my code runs well.

My Pom.xml has these

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
        <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
        <version>9.2.3</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
        <version>4.22.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
        <artifactId>selenium-api</artifactId>
        <version>4.22.0</version>
    </dependency>

My Port number is the standard one:

[Appium] { address: ‘127.0.0.1’,
allowCors: true,
basePath: ‘/wd/hub/’
}

Please skip 9.2.3, it’s buggy. Thanks @Aleksei

While version 9.2.2 worked well, an error arose after upgrading to version 9.2.3. I’ve already verified the existence of version 9.3.0.
