Hi @Victoria_Viccy

Answer: XCode 13.4.1 is not supported by Mac OS venture 13.0;

Question: Xcode got upgraded to 14.1 and tried to build the WedDriverAgent and got the following error “cannot link directly with dylib/framework, your binary is not an allowed client of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XCTAutomationSupport.framework/XCTAutomationSupport for architecture arm64” and build got failed.

Answer: Maybe You are Using Appium 1.22.3 or 1.22.3-4 version and repeatedly trying to build the WebDriverAgent project and end up with the Same Error.

Actually, maybe this is happening because WDA is not compatible with Xcode.

The solution is to use appium 2. x / install the Appium 2 beta version. this will work for you.

npm install -g appium@next
appium driver install xcuitest

run this command in the terminal–>It installs the appium 2 beta version and XCUITDriver.

Goto your home directory in Finder and Press the “Command” + “Shift” + “.” keys at the same time. The hidden files will show up as translucent in the folder.

it shows all hidden files

goto to a folder to build WDA ---->.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/

here you can find WDA.xcodeproject and build, you won’t get an error this time

Need any more help message me here :grin:
