Getting code 70 error while starting session, app gets installed but getting the following error

Hello Community
Hope everyone is doing great.
Need to ask a query

I am new to Appium and trying to run it in Appium Inspector for IOS, but stuck with this.
will be much appreciated
NOTE: Successfully running it for the Android side

Error statement

Failed to create session. An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent. Original error: xcodebuild failed with code 70. This usually indicates an issue with the local Xcode setup or WebDriverAgent project configuration or the driver-to-platform version mismatch.

Note
App gets installed in the simulator, but when I run it in simulator, it gives me the error shown in the image

Inspector error: Insepctor issue.png - Google Drive

Simulator error: Simulator Error.png - Google Drive

What version Xcode? I can see from image that you are on iOS 18.
Also, are you using an app compiled for Simulator, and for the chip that your Mac is running on (like M3)? Probably need to speak with developers about getting a version of the app compiled for Simulator and your chip, but might as well verify Xcode version.

@wreed
Yes, I understand that I got the build for my Mac with Intel process, that is set up
Actually, I am following (GitHub - JoanEsquivel/appium-demo) and with his demo app, even get the same issue
search suggests that it has something to do with webderiveragent signing in Xcode

2 things I would recommend to you:

  1. File an issue with that github repo here: Tutorial issues
  2. I would not follow a tutorial that results in an error state

If you ever want to answer my question in previous response I’d be happy to try and help.
