bug: IllegalAccessError when starting AndroidDriver in Appium 9.1.0

[MasterfieldProject]

Do I have the most recent component updates?

• I use the most recent available driver/plugin and server versions

Is the component officially supported by the Appium team?

• I have verified the component repository is present under the Appium organization in GitHub

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Using libs:
io.appium:java-client:9.1.0
org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:4.17.0

When start the android driver it throws IllegalAccessError.

Stacktrace:
`java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class io.appium.java_client.remote.AppiumNewSessionCommandPayload tried to access method 'java.util.stream.Collector com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap.toImmutableMap(java.util.function.Function, java.util.function.Function)' (io.appium.java_client.remote.AppiumNewSessionCommandPayload and com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap are in unnamed module of loader 'app')

Expected Behavior

It should start the driver successfully.

Minimal Reproducible Example

UiAutomator2Options o = new UiAutomator2Options()
                .setPlatformName("Android")
                .setPlatformVersion("13")
                .setDeviceName("device")
                .setAutomationName("UiAutomator2");
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4723"), o);

You probably have some conflicting version of Google Guava lib in your dependency tree

[MasterfieldProject]

My project dependencies shows it is com.google.guava.guava:33.0.0.-jre lib. And that is the only one Guava lib in the dep. tree. Is this the compatible version?

[MasterfieldProject]

I found that however it is com.google.guava.guava:33.0.0-jre (which is compatible) set in the gradle build file, but at runtime the incompatible com.google.guava.guava:33.0.0-android version is set under the gradle cache.

[MasterfieldProject]

Here is the resolution. Force Gradle to use "-jre" version of Guava instead of "-android".
dependencies.constraints { add("androidTestImplementation", "com.google.guava:guava") { attributes { attribute(TargetJvmEnvironment.TARGET_JVM_ENVIRONMENT_ATTRIBUTE, objects.named(TargetJvmEnvironment.STANDARD_JVM)) } } }
