@PascalBe07 Please try with latest appium server 1.8.1 with 6.0.0 Java client. It should be resolved there.

@SrinivasanTarget This resolved the issue, yes. Thanks.
Is there any documentation about which versions fit together in general? I think sometimes, this might help a lot.

Its preferred to use latest version as it comes with lot of bug fixes and enhancements usually.
