Jenkins+Appium+iOS: xcodebuild failed with code 65 (on local works only on jenkins not)

Support
1

Appium 1.7.0
Node 8.5.0
npm 5.3.0
iOS real device - iPhone 7 with iOS 11, xcode 9

Description:
I have a local project (where i start appium from code); when i run it locally with intelij works perfectly. If i run it from jenkins (using exactly the same code), setup crashes when is trying to install WebDriverAgent app. It install my ipa but not the WDA. What i’m missing?

[XCUITest] Error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: “xcodebuild failed with code 65”. Make sure you follow the tutorial at https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/docs/real-device-config.md. Try to remove the WebDriverAgentRunner application from the device if it is installed and reboot the device.

I added:
caps.setCapability(“keychainPath”, “/Users/admin/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db”);
caps.setCapability(“keychainPassword”, “password”);

Now i get:

[XCUITest] Error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: “Command” security -in unlock-keychain -p password /Users/admin/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db ‘exited with code 195’.

Try to remove the WebDriverAgentRunner application from the device if it is installed and reboot the device.

@maiky did you make same steps to build WDA where jenkins machine executing your code? -> https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/docs/real-device-config.md ?

i managed to resolve it; it was related to mac accounts; even if i had the certificates installed on admin they where not available for jenkins agent; still i gave jenkins agent the path to keychains but still it wasn’t able to use them; the solution was to install profiles also on jenkins agent and after that it worked perfectly. Thanks anyway.

Hi @venkat4, when i received my mac it had only 1 user on it (admin); normally when you configure Jenkins, system automatically creates a new user called Jenkins (jenkins agent which runs the jobs); my problem was that all setup was configured for admin user, and jobs are running from jenkins agent; mu fix was to make the same setup (configuring wda + profiles) also on jenkins agen; if you do not want to do that, from the start use only you jenkins user as default user (and install all your necessary data; use it as your default profile/user).
