I'm running a simple unit tests for launching Appium server from the code with Maven and Gradle. Tests are running fine but I noticed logs related to SLF4J logging library used in the AppiumDriverLocalService:

Can we close this issue as this seems to be resolved for now and isn't specific to this library? cc: @JaniJegoroff @SrinivasanTarget @mykola-mokhnach
