@prateekchawla Xcodebuild code 65 means (at least in my experience) that your signing and provisioning profiles are incorrectly configured.

You need to open the xcode project located where you installed appium-xcuitest-driver, configure Xcode and the project to use signing keys and provisioning profiles that allow you to run these apps on the phone in question.

Without wildcard (or inclusive of appium) certificates, and provisioning profiles including the phone in question, you will not be able to use Appium with real iOS devices.

Without the logs asked for it is not easy to say.

Do you have Carthage installed?

sorry, just attached the logs.
Carthage is installed according to the logs

Can you try running the following:

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent
/bin/bash Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d
imurchie picture imurchie on 18 Jan 2017

Getting this

Failed to write to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/Carthage/Build/iOS: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don’t have permission to save the file “iOS” in the folder “Build”."

looks like I need to give write permissions to this folder but i am not able to navigate to this path

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 18 Jan 2017

Did you install with sudo or something?

Anyway, you ought to be able to use sudo now to change the permissions on that tree.

imurchie picture imurchie on 18 Jan 2017

I did that with sudo

Looks like i need to change write permissions to that root folder.
any clue how can i navigate there ?

Thanks :)

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 18 Jan 2017

I would just do:

chown -R $(whoami): /usr/local/lib/node_modules

No reason your global node modules should not be owned by your user.

Obviously this isn't a good idea if you are on a multi-user system.

jlipps picture jlipps on 18 Jan 2017

I am getting the following error
Could not proxy command to remote server. Original error: Error: socket hang up
after
chown -R $(whoami): /usr/local/lib/node_modules

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 18 Jan 2017

Well, at least that's a different error. We'll need the full appium logs for this new error.

jlipps picture jlipps on 18 Jan 2017

(also, you may have needed to run that last command with sudo)

And if you go back and run the commands @imurchie posted?

jlipps picture jlipps on 18 Jan 2017

It gives fetching dependencies and shows up nothing after that

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 18 Jan 2017

i think that means it worked. let's try something else. make sure you are _not_ using sudo, then:

npm uninstall -g appium
npm install -g appium

to make sure all old stuff is cleared out. then try your test again.

jlipps picture jlipps on 18 Jan 2017

Thanks , I will try this tomorrow and let you know with the results.

many thanks @jlipps and many thanks @imurchie :+1:

@prateekchawla Xcodebuild code 65 means (at least in my experience) that your signing and provisioning profiles are incorrectly configured.

You need to open the xcode project located where you installed appium-xcuitest-driver, configure Xcode and the project to use signing keys and provisioning profiles that allow you to run these apps on the phone in question.

Without wildcard (or inclusive of appium) certificates, and provisioning profiles including the phone in question, you will not be able to use Appium with real iOS devices.

I tried running the Xocde project under appium>node_modules>appium-xcuitest-driver-WebDriverAgent
and was not able to build it even after signing it to the development team

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 24 Jan 2017

That error usually means something is wrong with the signing, and it cannot be built. What happens when you load it in Xcode?

imurchie picture imurchie on 24 Jan 2017

After installing Installed npm install app-inspector -g
It is installed under "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/app-inspector/node_modules/" and when i navigate to this path via terminal, it says not found.
Is there any other way to navigate to this path as i cant find it manually.

Somewhere along the way you must have deleted some things by mistake. I would re-install.

how can we uninstall and install

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 24 Jan 2017

or i shall re-install appium again ?

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 24 Jan 2017

You _can_ re-install just the appium-xcuitest-driver.

cd /Users/testing/appium
npm uninstall appium-xcuitest-driver
npm install appium-xcuitest-driver

Alternatively you can go into /Users/testing/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver and run git submodule update --init.

imurchie picture imurchie on 24 Jan 2017

So i did re install xcuitest-driver and built it using terminal after code signing with my development profile.

This is after i execute from the appium capabilities using bundle id for Webdriveragent.
It does open something on my ios device but then it gives the following error "http://10.140.1.80:4723/wd/hub/session timed out after 60 seconds" and the above logs

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 25 Jan 2017

@prateekchawla What operation were you trying to perform? Some operations are no longer supported in XCUITest (I dealt with that), like driver.back() (Python syntax).

Similarly, try to avoid using XPath selectors.

emil-petersen picture emil-petersen on 25 Jan 2017

okay now i am able to launch Integration app(which is under webdriver agent) through appium.
How can i navigate to a URL now from that app?

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 25 Jan 2017

@prateekchawla if you want to navigate to a URL, why aren't you automating Safari?

jlipps picture jlipps on 25 Jan 2017

you mean the Safari Launcher app ?

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 25 Jan 2017

no, Safari itself. With capabilities like the following:

{
  "browserName": "Safari",
  "platformName": "iOS",
  "platformVersion": "9.3.5",
  "deviceName": "iPhone",
  "udid": "..."
}

This should be all you need to do to get a web session. From your logs it looked like you were trying to automate WebDriverAgentLib. This is not your app. WDA lib is something Appium installs internally to help the automation -- it's not something you automate intentionally yourself.

jlipps picture jlipps on 25 Jan 2017

Thanks , would automating Safari needs some extra things to be configured or any Xcode project link to it ?

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 26 Jan 2017

The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://10.140.1.80:4723/wd/hub/session timed out after 180 seconds.

I increased the Time span for web driver although i am getting the above error in many instances
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://10.140.1.80:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));

Can you relate this to something?

prateekchawla picture prateekchawla on 27 Jan 2017

At this point what you are trying to do is no longer clear. Can you provide the full logs from the latest Appium run? As a gist.

1) You need to create one config file "xcodeConfigFile "under webDriverRunner project
2) Mention your team id properly, You can find your Team ID using your developer account. Sign in to developer.apple.com/account, and click Membership in the sidebar. Your Team ID appears in the Membership Information section under the team name. 
3) Mention this config file inside your desired capabilities as:
capabilities.setCapability("xcodeConfigFile", "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/Config.xcconfig");

Path of your xcodeConfigFile may vary.

Yep @AutomationProjects , that's what did it for me. I had Appium.app in /Downloads and it never worked (the simluator loaded but no inspector).

Moved Appium.app to /Applications and both simulator + inpsector run (with app auto-loaded). So simple yet spent so much time looking around

I am facing the same issue : "getting error Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: Command '/bin/bash Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d' exited with code 1"

I am trying to upgrade my scripts to support for iOS 9.3 or later-
I am using -

Mac OS 10.11.6
Xcode 8.0/8.2(tried with both)
iPhone 6 - iOS 10.1.1
Appium 1.6.5

Please do let me know if any unmatched supported version is there, if not then-

There are two things i want to add from this discussion forum :

  1. I don't have Carthage installed, and when I try to do so, it asks for Xcode 9.0 which ultimately needs Mac OS 10.12 or later [is this the only way out?]

if above is not the problem-

  1. I cannot find the path : "cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/bin/bash Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d"

@imurchie @jlipps Can you please confirm on @swachhab comment?
Thankyou in advance :)

You are very much able to use a Free Developer Account. There are a few caveats:

  • free accounts can only sign two apps at a time. Since Appium needs to sign an app itself, this means that only one other app can be signed when a session is started
  • free accounts cannot use wildcard certificates, which might mean that WebDriverAgent, which Appium needs to sign, may need a different bundle identifier in order to be signed (not sure why Apple reject the default one at times).

This is all described in our documentation: http://appium.io/docs/en/drivers/ios-xcuitest-real-devices/

@imurchie's comment very much make sense!
@prateekchawla Have you seen that video?, I tried same steps and its working absolutely fine for me.
Still in any doubt than you can visit this page: https://mobileautotools.wordpress.com/appium-setup-for-ios-10/

@prateekchawla but yeah we face issue sometimes in between our regression suite if we provide free developer account and run parallel test cases. Otherwise on single device, it execute smoothly with free developer account.

Thanks @imurchie @jlipps @emil-petersen @vikramvi
I was able to resolve the issue, it was more related to code-signing and using web driver runner agent.

@prateekchawla you never mentioned about the solution. How did you solve it? I am running through the similar issue and unable to find any solution
