  1. Are the baud rates set correctly on both sides?
  2. Are you using APM 2.x hardware?
  3. Which FW version are you using?
  4. Are the serial cables crossed like they should?

You are probably using ArduCopter 3.2.1 firmware from the year 2014.

It would be a good idea to update your flight controller hardware to something that supports the current ArduCopter 4.2.1 from the year 2022.

That said, I do not see any reason why dronekit does not connect to the APM 2.8 Hardware, it should just work.

i think apm donot supportt that new versions or at least i cannot upload it

Yes, we all know that the APM 2.8 hardware can not run the current firmware.
