Method is not implemented at XCUITestDriver.closeWindow

Description

I'm doing a migration from Appium 7.3 to 8.0, but I have problems with closing the app without terminating the driver session with driver.close(), but the error occurs on execution

Start with the reported LocalAppiumDriver.resetApp() call and compare Selenium's RemoteWebDriver.close behavior with XCUITestDriver.closeWindow in appium-xcuitest-driver/lib/commands/navigation.js. Reproduce the close command using the provided Java setup on iOS 14.5, then determine the expected behavior for closing the app while preserving the session.
