Start by reproducing the failure at the AndroidDriver constructor with the reported Java-client and Appium versions, using the provided capabilities and server URL. Compare the working 4.1.2/1.9.1 combination with 6.1.0 and 7.0.0, then use the session-creation logs and stack trace to identify the compatibility issue; done means a remote session is created successfully on the affected combinations.
