Set up running tests on real iOS devices

Support
1

Hello, everyone!
I only started to work with Appium and want to run UI tests on real iOS devices.
The basic conditions are:

  1. I am using Intellij IDEA for storing and running my tests
  2. My stack is : Appium + WebdriverIO + Mocha
  3. App for test is already installed on my physical test iOS devices (so I do not need to have .ipa file)

My question is:
Which settings should be made from my side and from my developers team side to configure running on real devices?

@Aleksei - i see this page is not available now, i am still getting this error with ios 17.2 and xcode 15.2

Failed to create session. An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: 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. Consider setting ‘showXcodeLog’ capability to true in order to check the Appium server log for build-related error messages… 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.
