Webdriveragent: Running WDA on iOS 11 real device, request always timeout

[liuxuan30]

So I am new to WDA and just download and executed ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh on latest master branch with official Xcode 9 latest and iPhone 7 + iOS 11.1.2

It build and launched fine, I can see my server URL

Runner[2675:912531] ServerURLHere->http://192.168.1.52:8100<-ServerURLHere

however when trying to GET http://192.168.1.52:8100, it always timeout. If I open safari on iPhone 7, it returns json message, so it's fine on device.

My iPhone and mac are in same local network, and the universal clipboard is working as well, so it should not be local network connection issue, but I just don't know why I can't get any response on my mac.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

Can you at least ping that ip from mac? Maybe your router is blocking connections?

Anyway, if you can connect your devices via USB you can always you usb proxy instead

[liuxuan30]

No, the ip is pingable. If I use iproxy, the server will respond. So I think it's the server or something wrong?

[marekcirkos]

That would suggest routing issues.

[liuxuan30]

yes I just found that. But why..? It's super weird.
And - I use my wife's iPhone 6 plus, which is bought in Beijing's Apple Store, and WDA over wifi sometimes works, sometimes doesn't... In my home wifi

[Pylipala]

Exactly the same behavior here, visit http://192.168.0.101:8100/ on iPhone is OK with json response. Visit the same URL on Mac which is connected to the same wifi network, it always timeout.

I meet the same issue.

[PandaraWen]

Same issue here, the ip is pingable but request from my mac and other iPhone would always go into timeout.

@marekcirkos I meet the same issue too,but I found a rule,when I disable the iphone's wifi,wda-runner will be ok,when I open the iphone's wifi,wda-runner will go into timeout and return error:"XCT_testBundleReadyWithProtocolVersion:minimumVersion: reply contained error: Error Domain=DTXProxyChannel Code=1 "(null)" UserInfo={DTXProxyChannelErrorMessage=Channel disconnected}". a few days ago,i run the command idevice_id -l,it return two same ideviceid when I connect the iphone via usb with wifi on,but when I close iphone's wifi,it return only one ideviceid.so I suspect that the problem is related to the network,but I don't know how to solve.

[JerryDream007]

I am also facing the same issue.
_XCT_testBundleReadyWithProtocolVersion:minimumVersion: reply contained error: Error Domain=DTXProxyChannel Code=1 "(null)" UserInfo={DTXProxyChannelErrorMessage=Channel disconnected}

[JerryDream007]

About Error Domain=DTXProxyChannel Code=1 "(null)" UserInfo={DTXProxyChannelErrorMessage=Channel disconnected} , Surprisingly, to fix this, just replugged my iPhone to another port !!!!

@marciok I came across this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/69k1j8/the_chinese_iphones_let_you_choose_which_apps_can/
Saying Chinese phones will have option for the internet access.

To quote one message from a tweet:

Cydia, for example, won't be able to access internet because it's not allowed to, but it would never show a pop-up asking for permission, and won't be in app list

Will this be the same issue as WDA? I don't remember if WDA popup the window and ask for permit, and right now I didn't have phone to test yet.

@308823810 replugging the iPhone works for me too.

[marekcirkos]

I remember that, there was an issue with phones in China, and simple solution for that is using usb proxy to connect to WDA.

[liuxuan30]

@marekcirkos I would keep this open, as we might find the possible reason, and we need to confirm if it's directly related, or just irrelevant.

I have the same issue. It will be ok if I disable the wifi.

how to fix it ?

@marekcirkos How to enable the Wifi, we need it for Automation?
We can't use USB port as it is occupied by our product. I will really appreciate if you help me on this.

Thanks

@marekcirkos @harlentan In which file I need to enable the Wifi proxy? Please let me know I will try it locally.

iTunes -> find your device -> enable wifi sync

wifi connection for automation test is unstable.

@harlentan Still the same error [XCUITest] Error: Unable to start WebDriverAgent session because of xcodebuild failure: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not proxy command to remote server. Original error: Error: socket hang up Make sure you follow the tutorial at https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/docs/real-device-config.md. Try to remove the WebDriverAgentRunner application from the device if it is installed and reboot the device.
