I looked many threads nothing was working out for me.. Please suggest me how to get rid of this

Code:
capabilities.setCapability("udid","");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName","ios");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","iPhone");
capabilities.setCapability("xcodeConfigFile","/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/myconfig.xcconfig");
capabilities.setCapability("bundleId","com.xxx.yyy");
capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 60 * 5);
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("http://"+System.getProperty("AppiumServerIp")+"/wd/hub"), capabilities);
}

[marekcirkos]

This is clearly not WDA issue rather Appium. However did you try using "automationName": "XCUITest" instead as it asked?

[imurchie]

@srinidhipatel Please search the Appium Issues. You might also want to upgrade to a more recent version of Appium.

@marekcirkos feel free to close this.

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue, did u get any solution for this?

Please help

[imurchie]

The solution is in the error message. Use the automationName desired capability and set it to "XCUITest".
