--new-display errors: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: DisplayWindowListener.onDisplayAddSystemDecorations(int) #6331
Description
Environment
- OS: macOS (M2)
- Scrcpy version: 3.3.1
- Installation method: brew
- Device model: Google Pixel 8
- Android version: 16 (Security update: 5 Setember 2025)
Describe the bug
Context: I was trying to display the new Desktop Mode on the Google Pixel phones.
Developer options > Windows Management > Enable desktop experience features (After reboot it shows icon bar via HDMI Out or via Developer options > Drawing > Simulate secondary displays)
After the command it opens a new window and flashes the new display (with wallpaper and icons) and errors out.
Tried it with tcpip and usb, no difference.

I can do it manually without a problem with adb and use scrcpy to view that display, it works without any error:

Replacing the scrcpy-server works!
Thanks

If the issue now occurs in the current stable version of Android, I will have to publish a new scrcpy release soon…
