Bug: Updating Appium.WebDriver to 8.0.1 introduces breaking changes, causing compilation and runtime errors due to API changes.
Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: 1.00

🔍 Detailed Analysis

The Appium.WebDriver dependency update to 8.0.1 introduces breaking changes. WindowsDriver is no longer generic, so WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> will cause compilation errors. Additionally, all findBy* methods (e.g., FindElementByName(), FindElementsByTagName(), FindElementByAccessibilityId()) have been removed, leading to runtime MethodNotFoundException errors or compilation failures. The pull request updates the dependency without migrating the calling code.

💡 Suggested Fix

Migrate existing code to the new Appium.WebDriver 8.0.1 API. Remove the generic type parameter from WindowsDriver. Replace findBy* methods with FindElement(AppiumBy.name()), FindElements(AppiumBy.tagName()), etc.

Potential issue: The `Appium.WebDriver` dependency update to 8.0.1 introduces breaking
changes. `WindowsDriver` is no longer generic, so `WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>` will
cause compilation errors. Additionally, all `findBy*` methods (e.g.,
`FindElementByName()`, `FindElementsByTagName()`, `FindElementByAccessibilityId()`) have
been removed, leading to runtime `MethodNotFoundException` errors or compilation
failures. The pull request updates the dependency without migrating the calling code.
