Description
Description
On Android, when I'm attempting to call getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES), under certain situations, it fires:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unexpected result for screenshot command: com.google.common.collect.Maps$TransformedEntriesMap instance
at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.getScreenshotAs(RemoteWebDriver.java:357)
This is running against BrowserStack on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. It appears to be related to switching contexts to Native before.
Environment
- Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 8.0.0-beta
- Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: BrowserStack
- Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: BrowserStack
- Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: N/A
- Mobile platform/version under test: Galaxy S21 Ultra on BrowserStack
- Real device or emulator/simulator: Real
Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]
driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES)
Exception Stacktraces
See above
Link To Appium Logs
I would be happy to send a link to the BrowserStack Appium logs directly, but it appears to include some of the credential information, so I wouldn't want to post it here. I've seen other references to this problem in other tickets though, so I'm assuming this isn't a new problem.

Research direction
Start at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.getScreenshotAs, especially the handling associated with the reported failure at RemoteWebDriver.java:357. Reproduce driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES) after switching to Native context on the reported Android setup, then verify that the screenshot command returns a byte array rather than Maps$TransformedEntriesMap.
