Research direction

Begin at AppiumModule.java:85 and SelenideUiSteps.java:72, then reproduce the AndroidDriver setup with the listed Appium, java-client, Selenide, and UiAutomator2 versions. Capture the missing Appium server logs and verify the endpoint, emulator, and APK inputs. Done means isolating a java-client defect from an environment or configuration failure; the issue provides no test or clear code location.

Current Behavior

I use
Appium server v2.11.2

io.appium
java-client
9.1.0

selenide
com.codeborne
7.1.0

I use options for android driver
public UiAutomator2Options getOptions() {
UiAutomator2Options options = new UiAutomator2Options();
File app = new File(“C:\Users\kristina.lapteva\Desktop\test\gostest.apk”);

options.setPlatformName("Android");
options.setDeviceName(config.get("deviceName"));
options.setPlatformVersion(config.get("platformVersion"));
options.setAutomationName("UiAutomator2");
options.setNewCommandTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(120));
options.setAndroidInstallTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(180));

options.setIgnoreHiddenApiPolicyError(true);
options.setApp(app.getPath());
options.setUdid("emulator-5554");
options.setAutoGrantPermissions(true);
options.setAppWaitDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(120));

return options;

}

I try
String url = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";
AndroidDriver androidDriver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(url),options);

and i have a problem
com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:
