Not able to run wdio openfin based UI automation with wdio v6

Question

What is the latest npm package available for wdio-openfin-service? I tried to install, "wdio-openfin-service": "^8.0.1",it gave me error, that it does not exist.

Reason to install 8.0.1 : https://github.com/wenjunche/wdio-openfin-service

npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for wdio-openfin-service@^8.0.1
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

Earlier I was using 1.1.1. version which is working well with wdio 4 version. But with wdio 6, it throws error:

[0-2]  Error:  Failed to create session.
Unable to connect to "http://127.0.0.1:9515/", make sure browser driver is running on that address.
If you use services like chromedriver see initialiseServices logs above or in wdio.log file as the service might had problems to start the driver.

Chromedriver is 2.34.0
