The problem

Any attempt to instantiate remote WebDriver triggers a TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'

Environment

• Appium version: 2.10.1
• Selenium version: 4.10.0
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac OS Ventura 13.4

Details

Looks like the latest Selenium introduced a breaking change in the WebDriver constructor by dropping desired_capabilities arg.

Code To reproduce issue

from appium.webdriver import Remote
Remote()
...
TypeError: WebDriver.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'desired_capabilities'
