Thanks it worked . I underwent certificate issue on solving I need to update my team in ‘signings&capability’ for webdriver agent project in xcode. That was missing , after that it was working fine. Thanks. @venkat4 check your webdriveragent xcode project, mostly that will be issue for you I think ---
