Key points to note:

1. systemPort The number of the port the UiAutomator2 server is listening on. By default, first free port from 8200..8299 range is selected. It is recommended to set this value if you are running parallel tests on the same machine.
2. URL of appium server session should have wd/hub
3. Parameter names from testng.xml should be same in method, if you are achieving parallelism from testng.xml
4. providing path for app capability: fetch user.dir and combine user.dir with path of apk from content root to form absolute path. Relative path does not work here.
5. Capability type for emulators is avd we can also use deviceName as well.
