Error while testing android device using appium and selenium

Question

I get this error and cannot start the device:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Unable to create a new remote session. Please check the server log for more details. 
Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. 
Original error: Error executing adbExec.

I'm using these dependencies

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>3.141.59</version>
<groupId>io.appium</groupId>
<artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0</version>

and connected the device correctly. Here's my code:

public class CalculatorTest {

static AppiumDriver<MobileElement> driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
 openCalculator();
} 
public static void openCalculator() throws MalformedURLException {
 DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
 cap.setCapability("deviceName", "realme C15");
 cap.setCapability("udid", "AA5DY9JBON69SGUC");
 cap.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
 cap.setCapability("platformVersion", "11");
 cap.setCapability("appPackage", "com.coloros.calculator");
 cap.setCapability("appActivity", "com.android.calculator2.Calculator");
 
 URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub");
 driver = new AppiumDriver<MobileElement>(url , cap); 
}

}

Remove the selenium dependency and try running, it should work

• ToastMan: +1 you only need the java-client for Appium. Unless you fancy a trip to jar hell ?
