Appium-desktop: Appium 1.18.0-2 and Xcode 12 failure when running ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh

[santtyamen]

You are reporting an issue at the Appium Desktop repository. Appium Desktop is a wrapper around Appium. If you are having trouble running tests, it is much more likely that the problem you are encountering is not a problem with Appium Desktop but with Appium. For that reason we require you to have tried your testcase with Appium CLI before reporting issues. Check the checkbox below to confirm that you have proven your issue does _not_ reproduce on Appium itself:

• [x] I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium and should be investigated as an Appium Desktop issue

The problem

I'm trying to run my test on Xcode 12 but I get a Carthage failure when running ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh

[debug] [WebDriverAgent] * Building scheme "iOS Framework" in CocoaAsyncSocket.xcodeproj

[debug] [WebDriverAgent] Task failed with exit code 1:
carthage-xcodebuild.TYyo9w.log

• I am on (pick one):
  
  
  
  • [x] Mac

I have the same issue when using the Appium Desktop 1.18.0-2

as far as I understand, there is report issue with the running carthage to build WebDriverAgent 14611 , and there is already a workaround solution for this and merged to the beta version 1.19.0-beta.0 because I'm using this beta version now without problems of building the app

Can anyone confirm my comments above? And how to use the Appium Desktop on Xcode 12 now please or waiting for the new Appium Desktop release?
Many thanks

just use some success wda to replace /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent or install the appium by npm dont use desktop

[anhhanuman]

Thanks, @Cuphoria for the idea.

@santtyamen I replaced the bootstrap.sh and add the carthage-wrapper.sh and I can run the script

AD can attach to local appium server as https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop#connect-to-local-appium-server
AD will bundle Appium 1.18.2 or 3 (probably 3)

Hi, I am having the same issue and I stil can't fix anything...
I need to run Appium Desktop in order to use the inspector ( to create automated UI test for iOS).
Here is my configuration:

Environment:
Xcode 12
Appium Desktop 18
Mac Os 0.15.6
iphone 7 - version iOS 14

What I am doing:
When I want to install the WebDriverAgentRunner on the real device I get the same issue all the time after running in my appium-webdriveragent:

mkdir -p Resources/WebDriverAgent.bundle
./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d

My Error Message:
Building scheme "iOS Framework" in CocoaAsyncSocket.xcodeproj
Build Failed
Task failed with exit code 1:
carthage-xcodebuild.uJMJEC.log

Then I am stuck and I cannot create the WebDriverAgent on my phone.
I would appreciate some advice,
thanks a lot!

As https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/issues/1567#issuecomment-697203264 , you can try out Appium 1.18.2 which have Xcode 12 build workaround.
Probably we'll push 1.18.3 with more Xcode 12 build fixes. Then, AD also bump the internal Appium version to 1.18.3.

As #1567 (comment) , you can try out Appium 1.18.2 which have Xcode 12 build workaround.
Probably we'll push 1.18.3 with more Xcode 12 build fixes. Then, AD also bump the internal Appium version to 1.18.3.

@KazuCocoa ok Thanks for the quick reply, I will try right now and update then. thanks.

@KazuCocoa -- Didn't see the 1.18.2 version in the Appium.io site. Latest one is 1.18.0 -2 . Is it the same your stating. Thanks.

I find a kind of ultimate solucion (without having to )... in order to use the lastest WDA you will have to modify the package.json located in the _/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium_ path (MacOS) to something like this: "appium-xcuitest-driver": "^3.30.0". Then run the command _rm -rf node_modules/ && npm i_ in order to remove the old packages and install the new version. cd node_modules/appium-webdriveragent and do the basic configs (follow the instructions at https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/docs/real-device-config.md). You might have to restart your GUI Server but it works!.

Forgot to tell but you will have to change the target device families on xcode project if you willing to use it for TVOS. Something like this

What do you mean?
Appium 1.18.2 is in https://github.com/appium/appium/releases
Appium Desktop does not have the version yet, so we guide https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop#connect-to-local-appium-server to use local appium server for now. Appium Desktop is just an inspector. (Will bump embedded Appium server later)
