Just getting started with Appium/Appium Inspector, when I was trying to launch the iOS simulator through Appium-Inspector, I got the below error message:

[W3C] xcodebuild error message:

What version of Appium?
What version of Xcode?

Hello there,
I was using Appium 1.x via Appium Desktop/Server GUI
And for Xcode I was using version 14.0.1

#4

Ok, I don’t think Appium 1.X is going to work with Xcode 14. Could you try Appium 2?
