Can't interact with composable elements in Compose 1.4.3

[mehdisatei]

Running Appium with following env

{
  "platformName": "Android",
  "appium:platformVersion": "13",
  "appium:deviceName": "R5CW815KM6B",
  "appium:automationName": "Espresso",
  "appium:app": "PATH",
  "appium:appPackage": "PACKAGE_NAME",
  "appium:appActivity": "ACTIVITY_NAME",
  "appium:noReset": true,
  "appium:allowTestPackages": true,
  "appium:espressoBuildConfig": "PATH_TO_CONFIG",
  "driver": "compose"
}

and my espressoBuildConfig looks like this

{
    "toolsVersions": {
        "kotlin": "1.8.21",
        "composeVersion": "1.4.3",
        "minsdk": 24,
        "compileSdk": 34,
        "sourceCompatibility": null,
        "targetCompatibility": null,
        "additionalAppDependencies": [
            "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.8.21",
            "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.6.3",
            "com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0",
            "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-compose:2.5.1",
            "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.5.1",
            "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-savedstate:2.5.1",
            "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel:2.5.0",
            "androidx.compose.ui:ui:1.4.3"
        ]
    }
}

I'm forcing composeVersion 1.4.3 and minsdk 24 but still can't interact with a composable element. The error is:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: abstract method "androidx.compose.ui.Modifier androidx.compose.ui.Modifier.then(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier)

It's probably due to a version mismatching but even forcing composeVersion to 1.4.3 (same as build.gradle) has not fixed the issue.

Perhaps you could modify https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver/blob/master/espresso-server/app/build.gradle.kts directly and run the build command by your own (outside appium) to explore necessary dependencies
