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”. ---

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. ---

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.
