Appium 8.0.0 can not access selenium support package

[Jakwado]

Environment

Java: 15
Appium java-client version: 8.0.0

Details

I cannot use selenium classes when I pull appium java-client dependency v8.0.0. On the other hand when I pull selenium support as a separate dependency in pom here's what I get:

.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/
selenium/remote/AcceptedW3CCapabilityKeys

#1108

Please provide any solution. Problem has been reported before:
#1415

@Jakwado you need to add explicitly selenium-support dependency: org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-support

[Jakwado]

@valfirst
As I mentioned I tried and then I get following error:

.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/
selenium/remote/AcceptedW3CCapabilityKeys

It's mentioned in this thread:
#1108

@Jakwado make sure the version of selenium-support dependency is aligned with version of Selenium supported by Appium Java client

[Jakwado]

This is the dependency I added explicitly:

org.seleniumhq.selenium
selenium-support
4.2.0

It aligns with java-client:8.0.0 dependencies.

[valfirst]

Selenium 4.2.0 is supported starting from Appium Java client 8.1.0. See #1695.

[Jakwado]

What's selenium compatible version then? I tried 4.0.0, 4.1.2 and even notation you guys you in pom - "[4.0, 5.0)" - none of these work. Any tips?

Factory method 'webDriver' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/openqa/selenium/remote/AcceptedW3CCapabilityKeys

Okay I went through the topic you sent in your latest message. Upgrading Appium to 8.1 helped. Thanks a lot for your help. Any ETA regarding it's presence on mvnrepository?
