Can someone using appium(1.18) with Xcode 12 and iOS 14

Hi,

I am trying to install webdriveragentrunner for Xcode 12 with appium 1.18?

observing error as build failed.

could someone help me out.

I’m facing the same issue.

Hi @mykola-mokhnach could you help.

I have the same issue with one of my laptops.

Reinstalling everything related to Appium, Carthage, Xcode didn’t help.

More interesting, that in that log file (mentioned in terminal) there are no errors, only “Compilation successful”.

DerivedData folder cleared?

I solved this issue by update WebDriverAgent from the latest release at https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent.

I had issue with this too. It was caused by Carthage. Simple fix is installing the latest Appium Beta, and rebuild your WDA file.

npm install -g appium@beta

1.19.0-beta.0 at the time of writing.

hello! Did you solve this issue?

Yes , It’s working with the same versions now

I must make some modification

*I used the “idevicescreenshot” for taking the screenshot, there is a error

Could not connect to screenshotr!
Need to get the latest source code from GitHub - libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice: A cross-platform protocol library to communicate with iOS devices and recompile

  • The hidden keyboard board in keyboard of ipad is changed

iOS 14: キーボードを非表示
iOS 13/iOS19: キーボードを隠す

  • Before sending the value into textfield, I must to add

element.click()
sleep(1)

  • on iOS14, I cant use the “value” attribute to get the value of element, It must be changed to “name” or “label”

Hello All,
I am very much excited with lots of techies with good information sharing for iOS automation . Thanks .
I have xcode 11.5 , iOS 13.4(iPhone11) and one more device with iOS 14 ( iphone7) , so which appium version will work for automation ? If at all any changes required , what are those changes I have to do? Can you please guide me. I am new to this. Thanks a ton in advance. Please help me.
Thanks,
Deep

confused, can someone explain what the screenshotr! service is, where it executes and what is the steps to find and mount a developer image as described in some documentation. what is a developer image (or is that a .dmg?)
appium @1.22.3 on both of my machines one works. one does not.
ios-deploy @1.11.4

They are on different OS (Monterey machine is non-working, BigSur machine is working) and thus on different Xcode versions

worked for me when I found that:
if idevicescreenshot errors with

“unable to connect to screenshotr!”

This might have led me to the problem being in libimobiledevice, but I went down a rabbit hole around the imagemount command and disk image mount failure that was not relevant to me.

I found this was a bit harder to troubleshoot and some errors in some peoples steps

brew uninstall --force ideviceinstaller
brew uninstall --force libimobiledevice
brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice -g
brew install ideviceinstaller -g

this fails, due to a new module called libimobiledevice-glue which is omitted from the brew recipe, I eventually found these steps solved it Homebrew installation of libimobiledevice from HEAD fails with missing package libimobiledevice-glue-1.0 · Issue #1217 · libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice · GitHub

brew create “GitHub - libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice-glue: A library with common code used by libraries and tools around the libimobiledevice project

in vim tap GV to select all text, hit del

paste the following text

class LibimobiledeviceGlue < Formula
desc “”
homepage “”
license “”
head “GitHub - libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice-glue: A library with common code used by libraries and tools around the libimobiledevice project

depends_on “autoconf” => :build
depends_on “automake” => :build
depends_on “libtool” => :build
depends_on “pkg-config” => :build
depends_on “libplist”

def install
system “./autogen.sh”, “–prefix=#{prefix}”
system “make”, “install”
end

end

(my indentation here might be a bit off) if you get that bit wrong just go

brew edit libimobiledevice-glue

next go

brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice-glue

brew edit libimobiledevice

add this line

depends_on "libimobiledevice-glue"

and then run

brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice
