Bad capabilities. Specify either app or appTopLevelWindow to create a session" Error given by the WinApp driver

[hritha]

I am getting the below error when using the WinApp driver for the desktop automation." Bad capabilities. Specify either app or appTopLevelWindow to create a session"

Selenium - 4.2 appium - 8.1.0

It's java application DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities(); caps.setCapability("platformName", "Windows"); caps.setCapability("deviceName", "WindowsPC"); caps.setCapability("appWorkingDir", "C:\Program Files (x86)\RSA SecurID Software Token"); caps.setCapability("app", "C:\Program Files (x86)\RSA SecurID Software Token\SecurID.exe"); try { ProcessBuilder pBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Application Driver\WinAppDriver.exe").inheritIO(); proc = pBuilder.start(); try { rsa = new WindowsDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/"), caps); Assert.assertNotNull(rsa); } catch (Exception ex) { }

Selenium 3 is supporting there is no issue. But the issue with Selenium 4 which is not supporting WinApp driver. Any inputs to support for selenium 4?
