Hello, I would like to ask how to initialize the WebDriverAgent in Appium 1.21 version as the directory of WebDriverAgent cannot be found in appium-xcuitest-driver. Thank you very much

@@RaghavPal Facing the same. Any solution?

[@cristinadautova4698]

Hello! Thank you for the video, it was useful for me. But since then following has changed: 1) location: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent 2) no need to run ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d for appium > 1.20 3) 'instruments -s devices' deprecated in Xcode 13, instead use 'xcrun xctrace list devices'

Really helpful. How to get app package and app activity of native app - ios device ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Syed, see if this helps 1. Unlock mobile device 2. Open CMD 3. Run command : adb devices 4. Run command : adb shell 5. On mobile store open the app that you want to check 6. Run command : dumpsys window windows | grep -E ‘mCurrentFocus’ 7. appPackage and appActivity name will get displayed. Copy from here www.automationtestinghub.com/apppackage-and-appactivity-name/

Hi Raghav, I am using macOS in virtual box (Big Sur). Inside Appium-xcuitest-driver folder, I can see index.js, package.json, README.md, LICENSE, lib, build. I could find the WebDriverAgent in the given location, please advice.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, For new versions here is the path of WebDriverAgent for Appium Desktop: /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent For Appium installed through node: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent

[@islamgalal4483]

hii I have below error once press on build ( what done here in 24:05 ) ld: cannot link directly with 'XCTAutomationSupport' because product being built is not an allowed client of it clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

[@RaghavPal]

Islam Can try these: 1. Xcode Version 14 or Later: - Update Appium Server: Ensure you're using the latest Appium version (2.0 or later) which has a fix for this issue. - Install Latest XCUITest Driver: Run `appium driver install xcuitest` or `appium driver update xcuitest`. - Use Prebuilt WDA: If updating Appium isn't feasible, download the prebuilt WebDriverAgent (WDA) and use the `usePrebuiltWDA` capability in your test scripts. 2. Missing or Incorrect Framework Linking: - Check Linked Frameworks: In Xcode, verify that "XCTAutomationSupport.framework" is listed under "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" in the "General" tab of your project settings. - Manually Add Framework: If it's missing, add it manually. - Embed Framework: If it's already listed, change its "Embed" setting to "Embed & Sign". 3. Xcode Signing Issues: - Clean and Rebuild: Clean your project (Product > Clean Build Folder) and then rebuild. - Verify Signing: If you're using custom signing profiles, ensure they're configured correctly. 4. Conflicting Dependencies: - Check Dependencies: Review your project's dependencies for any conflicts with XCTAutomationSupport. - Update/Remove Conflicting Libraries: Update or remove conflicting libraries. Additional Troubleshooting: - Restart Xcode: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve linking issues. - Delete Derived Data: Delete the Derived Data folder (located at ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData) to clear potential build issues. - Check Linker Flags: Review linker flags in your project's build settings for any potential conflicts. ..

Hi sir I m doing automation testing since 5yrs but I have recently started is ios automation but I m getting issues to intract real app/ipa but I m able to automation dummy app do I need to give some extra desired capabilities for real time project

[@RaghavPal]

Ravi Desired Capabilities for iOS Automation with Appium When automating real iOS apps, make sure to include these desired capabilities: desired_caps = { "platformName": "iOS", "platformVersion": "16.1", "deviceName": "iPhone 11 Pro", "app": "/path/to/your/app.ipa", # Or use bundleId if installed "automationName": "XCUITest", "udid": "", "xcodeOrgId": "", "xcodeSigningId": "iPhone Developer", "bundleId": "" } Common Issues Provisioning Profiles: Ensure your app is signed correctly. Modify the WebDriverAgentRunner's bundle identifier in Xcode if needed. WebDriverAgent Setup: Make sure WebDriverAgent is installed. Remove any existing instance from the device and rebuild it from Xcode if you encounter issues. Connection Issues: Check that the Appium server is running and the device is properly connected. Look for firewall settings that might block connections. Additional Tips Use Appium Inspector: To verify capabilities and inspect UI elements. Check Logs: Review Appium server logs for detailed error messages. Update Appium: Use the latest version for improved features and bug fixes. -

Hi Raghav, Our scenario is that we want to run the test from host windows machine and connect to real Mac devices. We were trying with Mac2driver but unable to connect to device. Do you have any video for the same and also if we want to run these tests in pipeline that what kind of host is needed? Please suggest

[@RaghavPal]

RS For the issue with Mac2Driver, it might be due to some configuration or compatibility issues. You can check the official documentation or community forums for potential solutions To run these tests in a pipeline, you would need a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) environment. Jenkins is a popular open-source tool that can be used for this purpose You can also use GitHub Actions for running your tests.. The host machine should have the following basic requirements for the Appium server[^10^]: - A macOS, Linux, or Windows operating system - Node.js version in the SemVer range ^14.17.0 || ^16.13.0 || >=18.0.0 - npm version >=8 ..

[@EnyinnayaChinatu]

I'm unable to access the WebDriverAgent on my mac, both installed Appium using npm and the Desktop version however was still unable to locate the WebDriverAgent Directory

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Enyinnaya, The WebDriverAgent is a component of Appium that provides a server for running WebDriver tests on iOS devices. If you're unable to locate the WebDriverAgent directory, there are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue: Check if the WebDriverAgent was installed correctly: The WebDriverAgent is typically installed as part of the Appium setup process. If the installation was unsuccessful, you may need to reinstall Appium or the WebDriverAgent. Check your Appium version: The location of the WebDriverAgent directory may be different depending on the version of Appium you're using. Make sure you're using the latest version of Appium and check the documentation for information on the location of the WebDriverAgent directory. Check the Appium logs: If the WebDriverAgent is not starting or is not working as expected, you can check the Appium logs for information on the issue. The logs may contain information that can help you diagnose and resolve the problem. Check the Xcode version: The WebDriverAgent is built using Xcode, so you will need to have a compatible version of Xcode installed on your Mac. Make sure you have the latest version of Xcode installed and check the Appium documentation for information on the minimum required version. Rebuild the WebDriverAgent: If the WebDriverAgent is not working as expected, you can try rebuilding it using the following command: ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh This command will rebuild the WebDriverAgent and may resolve any issues you're encountering. Note: These steps should help you resolve most issues related to the WebDriverAgent. If you continue to experience problems, you may want to check the Appium forums or ask for help on Stack Overflow for additional assistance.

[@joyanupam1983]

Hi Ragav, can you please let me know if there is any way to automate iOS apps using Appium on windows machine, and not in Mac ?

[@RaghavPal]

Unfortunately, it is not possible to automate iOS apps using Appium on a Windows machine without a Mac. Appium relies on Apple's XCUITest framework, which is only available on macOS. XCUITest is the automation framework used for testing iOS apps. To automate iOS apps using Appium, you need a macOS machine or a Mac cloud service where you can set up Appium and run your tests. This is because Appium requires access to the iOS simulator or physical devices, which are only available on macOS. However, once you have a macOS machine or access to a Mac cloud service, you can use Appium with the appropriate configurations and capabilities to automate iOS app testing efficiently. In summary, to automate iOS apps using Appium, you need a macOS machine or access to a Mac cloud service. Windows machines alone cannot run Appium for iOS app automation.

Hi raghav please help me out for set up for appium for iOS app from selenium with desired capabilities I am getting too much error

[@RaghavPal]

Harsh Let's break it down step by step. Step 1: Install Appium Make sure you have Appium installed on your system. You can download and install Appium from the official website: Step 2: Install Selenium You mentioned you're using Selenium, so I assume you already have it installed. If not, you can install Selenium using pip: ``` pip install selenium ``` Step 3: Set up Appium Server Start the Appium server by running the following command in your terminal/command prompt: ``` appium ``` This will start the Appium server, and you should see a message indicating that the server is listening on a specific port (e.g., `0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub`). Step 4: Prepare your iOS App Make sure you have an `.ipa` file for your iOS app. If you don't have one, you can create it using Xcode or other tools. Step 5: Set up Desired Capabilities Create a dictionary to store the desired capabilities for your iOS app. Here's an example: ```python desired_caps = { 'platformName': 'iOS', 'platformVersion': '14.2', # Replace with your device's iOS version 'deviceName': 'iPhone 12', # Replace with your device's name 'automationName': 'XCUITest', 'app': '/path/to/your/app.ipa', # Replace with the path to your.ipa file 'noReset': True, 'fullReset': False } ``` Step 6: Create an Appium Driver Instance Create an instance of the Appium driver using the desired capabilities: ```python from selenium import webdriver driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor='localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_capabilities=desired_caps) ``` Step 7: Verify the Connection Try to connect to the Appium server using the driver instance: ```python driver.get('www.google.com') ``` If everything is set up correctly, you should see the Appium server launch the iOS simulator and open the Google website --

Hi Anchal, It sounds like you are encountering an issue with building your Xcode project when using Appium on a MacOS machine. There could be a few reasons why this is happening: Try cleaning your build folder and delete derived data Try to re-install Appium, if the issue still persist You can also try to check your system logs, sometimes there may be some issue with permissions If you still facing the same issue, you can try to update your xcode to the latest version, it might help.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, The error (/wd/hub/session 500 error) indicates that there is an issue with the WebDriver session Can be due to: 1. Incorrect configuration of the Appium server or WebDriverAgent: Make sure that your Appium server is configured correctly, and that the Appium WebDriverAgent is installed and running on the device 2. iOS version incompatibility: Appium's WebDriverAgent is updated to support the latest version of iOS. make sure you are using the version of the WebDriverAgent that is compatible with the version of iOS running on your device 3. Incorrect WebDriverAgent setup: if the WebDriverAgent is not correctly configured, or its dependencies are missing, it will not be able to communicate with the device and you will receive this error. You may want to check the WebDriverAgent logs and see if there is any information there that can help you troubleshoot the issue 4. Insufficient permission: The WebDriverAgent may not have the necessary permissions to run on the device. You can check the system logs on the device to see if there are any error messages related to permissions You may want to try reinstalling the WebDriverAgent on the device and reconfiguring the Appium server to see if that resolves the issue If the issue persists, you can try adding the -d option when starting the appium server. This will print the debug logs to the console, and you may find useful information to troubleshoot the issue

Hi Rahul, have you run appium-doctor to check if there is anything missing or not proper. I will have to explore more online for real device testing

[@backbenchtech1846]

I have run the appium doctor every thing is fine Can you suggest me any forums or video that helps with the troubleshooting this problem

Hi Rahul, as of now No specific forum. Will let you know If I find something.

Why not you show step 9 for Appium for Desktop and I am getting the error as "Failed to create provisioning profile" after changing the product bundle identifier as per your instruction. I opened the WebDriverAgent.xcodeprej from appium desktop folder. Can you tell me the solution?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Pankaj, Go to WebDriverAgentRunner -> Build Settings -> Build Settings -> Packaging -> Product Bundle Identifier and change it. After changing clear the project and rebuild it. stackoverflow.com/questions/40484957/appium-error-xcode-couldnt-find-a-provisioning-profile-matching-com-facebook-w github.com/appium/appium/issues/8144

hi, raghav..thanks for the great session but i am facing issue while launching application on real device,application gets installed but then it does not launch and finally it uninstalls with this error-"xcodebuild exited with code '65' and signal 'null'" also in tutorial, integration app gets installed in simulator but while attempting on real device, it throws error that development account is required..waiting for your reply..please guide!

[@kamakshikhosla9805]

No profiles for 'com.schracks.WebDriverAgentRunner.xctrunner' were found: Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching 'com.teamtech123.WebDriverAgentRunner.xctrunner'. Automatic signing is disabled and unable to generate a profile. To enable automatic signing, pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to xcodebuild. Testing cancelled because the build failed. running this command xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination 'id=f75xxxxxxx' test

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, this is what I found online, Ensure you have the webdriveragentrunner and all other associated file with it (WebDriverAgentLib , WebDriverAgentUSBClient and Unittest , IntegrationTests and IntegrationApp) all use the correct developer signed . This is Under General->team. When i say developer signed the developer.apple.com/account -user should be able to login and get it signed from there and u are using the same signed account

[@kamakshikhosla9805]

@@RaghavPal hi Raghav, thanks for the reply, I am using developer account but it's expired, so it's mere apple id for real device..will that work?..also, shall I use xcodebuild command on terminal to install webdriveeagent application on my device? Bcz it says no webdriveeagent app found
