Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Below is the sample tap action code

public void tapCenterUsingW3C()
{
           log.info("CLICKING AT CENTER OF SCREEN");
           Dimension dimension = getAppiumDriver().manage().window().getSize();
           System.out.println("dimension dimension " + dimension);
           Point point = new Point((int) (dimension.width * 0.5), (int) (dimension.height * 0.5));
           System.out.println("dimension dimension  point.getX() " + point.getX());
           System.out.println("dimension dimension  point.getY() " + point.getY());
           PointerInput FINGER = new PointerInput(TOUCH, "finger");
           Sequence tap = new Sequence(FINGER, 100)
                .addAction(FINGER.createPointerMove(ofMillis(10), viewport(), point.getX(), point.getY()))
                .addAction(FINGER.createPointerDown(LEFT.asArg()))
                .addAction(new Pause(FINGER, ofMillis(milliseconds)))
                .addAction(FINGER.createPointerUp(LEFT.asArg()));
           getAppiumDriver().perform(List.of(tap));
           log.info("CLICKED AT CENTER OF SCREEN");
  }

Start by running the provided Java tap-action reproduction against the listed Appium and Android versions, then compare the serialized actions with the linked Appium logs. The relevant reported entry point is the W3C /actions request, with the failure shown in W3CActions.safeHandle; done means identifying and documenting or correcting the cause of the invalid-argument response.
