Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to class io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver (org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver and io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver are in unnamed module of loader 'app')

I want to do drag and drop operation on an android mobile browser.

Below are the dependencies I have in pom for selenium and appium

org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.141.59

    <dependency>
    <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
    <version>7.4.1</version>
</dependency>


I'm using this piece of code to perform drag and drop.

 new AndroidTouchAction((PerformsTouchActions) driver).longPress(LongPressOptions.longPressOptions().withElement(ElementOption.element(source)))
    .waitAction(WaitOptions.waitOptions(Duration.ofSeconds(2)))
    .moveTo(ElementOption.element(target))
    .release()
    .perform();

Which is throwing this error :

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to class io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver (org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver and io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver are in unnamed module of loader 'app')"

Start with the Maven dependencies in pom and the AndroidTouchAction call, then trace how the driver is created and passed to this cast. Reproduce the ClassCastException with the supplied Selenium and Appium versions and verify that drag-and-drop works on an Android browser without the reported failure.
