8.1.1 - Could not start a new session

[RSM-SBA]

Description

i have updated from 8.1.0 to 8.1.1 and i get the error "Could not start a new session" Switched back to 8.1.0 and it works again. Has something changed regarding the appiumServiceBuilder ?

Environment

• Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 8.1.1
• Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 2.0beta40
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: MacOS Monterey
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: 16
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS / Android
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

capabilities setup: XCUITestOptions options = new XCUITestOptions(); options.setDeviceName("iPhone 8 Plus"); options.setPlatformName("iOS"); options.setPlatformVersion(getPlatformVersion()); options.setApp(getAppPath()); options.setForceAppLaunch(false); options.setAutomationName("XCUITest"); options.setNewCommandTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(120)); options.setKeepKeyChains(false); options.setUdid(getUdid()); options.setLanguage("de"); options.setLocale("de_DE"); options.setUseNewWDA(false); options.setConnectHardwareKeyboard(false); options.setProcessArguments(argsValue); options.setWdaLaunchTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(60)); options.setWdaLocalPort(getWdaLocalPort()); options.setWaitForIdleTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(1)); options.setBundleId(getAppId());

creating a server with the serviceBuilder builder = new AppiumServiceBuilder().withLogFile(new File("appium_.log")).withArgument(() -> "--allow-insecure", "adb_shell").withArgument(() -> "--use-plugins", "images"); builder.withIPAddress("127.0.0.1"); builder.usingPort(4726); builder.withCapabilities(options);

creating driver with : driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4726)), options);
