Answer 1

This class has been deprecated for more that a year, and recently it was deleted: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/46d425d3a5fa8e21cf955d7b41bf436548e4971d This change is included in Selenium version 2.46.

That implies that Appium version you use is not compatible with Selenium 2.46

Answer 2

I faced the same Issue in working with Android. But when I changed the AppiumDriver to RemoteWebdriver the issue got fixed.
