I have set up a mobile automation project in Serenity BDD Cucumber Maven. Following is the pom.xml used. Facing this error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/bytebuddy/dynamic/VisibilityBridgeStrategy
Not sure why this error is thrown? I have been facing a number of errors while using an Appium latest version with unmatched selenium versions, later changed and update the version as per the sources in internet - Stackeroverflow mostly, but now I have no clue on this error.

Any help will be much appreciated. Also noticed this error is thrown from the runner class file. My runner class file looks like below.
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
features = {"src/test/resources/features/uiautomationfeatures"},
glue = {"com.gr.rateapp.stepdefinitions.uistepdefintions", "com.gr.rateapp.runners"},
plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-html-report.html"}
)
public class RunnerClassUI { }
The stacktrace of the error looks like below:

Code Worked after updating the appium version to 8.6.0 and removing selenium server dependency, still unaware what could have caused the issue. But this worked.
