Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.

Appium version 1.8.0 Device Samsung Galaxy S4 (android 5.0.1) Java 1.8.0

My first test to check whether appium is working correct:

` import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import java.net.MalformedURLException; import java.net.URL; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class Main{

public static void main (String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {

    DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
    caps.setCapability("deviceName", "6383a624");
    caps.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
    caps.setCapability("app", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Appium\\resources\\app\\node_modules\\appium-unlock\\bin\\unlock_apk-debug.apk");

    AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub"), caps);
 
    driver.quit();

}

}

`

When I run my first test I see below unknown server-side error:
