Bug: Appium.WebDriver 8.0.1 update breaks existing test code due to removed API methods like FindElementByName() and CloseApp(), causing runtime exceptions.
Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: 1.00

🔍 Detailed Analysis

The Appium.WebDriver package was updated to version 8.0.1, which introduced breaking changes by removing several API methods. The existing test code in tests/Files.InteractionTests/SessionManager.cs and tests/Files.InteractionTests/Helper/TestHelper.cs still attempts to use these removed methods, such as _session.FindElementByName(), _session.CloseApp(), SessionManager.Session.FindElementsByTagName(), and SessionManager.Session.FindElementByAccessibilityId(). Additionally, the WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> generic type is no longer supported. This will lead to NoSuchMethodException or MethodAccessException at runtime, causing all interaction tests to fail immediately.

💡 Suggested Fix

Update test code to use Appium.WebDriver 8.0.1 compatible APIs. Replace FindElementByName(), FindElementsByTagName(), FindElementByAccessibilityId() with findElement(By.*) or findElement(AppiumBy.*). Change WindowsDriver<WindowsElement> to AppiumDriver. Replace CloseApp() with removeApp().
