appium-interceptor Proxy Not Starting #64

Description

@MichaelAbebe

I installed appium-interceptor, but I'm unable to capture requests because the proxy is not starting.

Steps Taken:

I installed the plugin using npx appium plugin install --source=npm appium-interceptor.
I verified the installation using npx appium plugin list, and the output shows that the plugin is installed but not active (appium-interceptor@1.0.1 [installed (npm)]).
I started Appium using npx appium server --port 4723 --use-plugins=appium-interceptor.
When running a test, I encountered the following error: "WebDriverError: Proxy is not active for current session when running 'execute/sync' with method 'POST' and args 'interceptor: startListening'".
I have reinstalled the plugin multiple times and tried to activate it using the provided command, but have not had any luck.
The APK is successfully proxied with Proxyman, so I suspect the issue is related to how I’m running both Appium and ensuring that the plugin is correctly listening to the port.

Could you please assist?
