@mykola-mokhnach could you merge this fix into 7.6.x version? Thank you

We’d like to publish a new beta as soon as there is a new selenium lib patch available. See https://github.com/appium/java-client/issues/1608 for more details

@mykola-mokhnach Dear Mykola, we’ve faced with the similar problem on our project, it will be wonderful if it is possible to fix into 7 version. Thank you in advance.

@margasan We currently aim to release version 8 and will only be supporting that one. Consider creating a custom fork if you’d like to continue using v7
