Getting the above error when running the code in TestNG.
It would be helpful if anyone is replying me to resolve this issue.

Thank you !

@Dakshana_Jayakumar Hi Can you please let me know your Appium version

Iniyavans · April 18, 2023, 10:31am

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();

	caps.setCapability("appium:automationName", "UiAutomator2");

	caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");

	caps.setCapability("appium:app", "path to your application");

            URL remoteUrl = new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub/");

           AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(remoteUrl, caps);

just try the above code @Dakshana_Jayakumar

Dakshana_Jayakumar · April 18, 2023, 11:14am

@Iniyavans. This is the appium version : 2.0.0-beta.62

Dakshana_Jayakumar · April 18, 2023, 11:37am

@Iniyavans Is this the way you mentioned ?

Iniyavans · April 19, 2023, 4:02am

Are you using Windows or mac @Dakshana_Jayakumar?

For Windows just change the below line

URL remoteUrl = new URL(“http://127.0.0.0:4723/”); or

URL remoteUrl = new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/”);

if its not works, kindly share the appium log with me

Dakshana_Jayakumar · April 19, 2023, 7:39am

@Iniyavans I am totally new to this appium and automation testing and all. So I am not aware of totally how to move and what to find in it

Iniyavans · April 19, 2023, 7:41am

Zuhair_Merchant · May 9, 2023, 10:02am

Iniyavans · May 15, 2023, 9:02am

Which appium version you used to run an application? @Zuhair_Merchant

abhinav_nadimpally · July 17, 2023, 5:36am

hi, Even i am facing the same issue. Appium was working as expected for me until my recent MAC upgrade. After upgrading my MAC, Appium started failing.
