I got this error when using Appium 1.21.0 with Xcode 13. Moving to Appium 1.22.0 solved it for me (Apple changed the API for screenshots).

Not sure about Appium 2.0. Maybe there is a more recent release candidate?

Our team is using Appium 2.0, and after some search I replaced the latest wda but still not working. I’ll try to update my xcode to 13, now it’s 12.

Just update, after upgrade to xcode 13, screen shot is working fine.

Hi @Huwei I faced the same issue and try upgrading to Xcode 13 and appium to 1.22.2 to solve it. When using iOS simulator version 15, it is solved, but when using simulator version < 15, this issue still happens. If you don’t mind, can you try it also on ios < 15 like 14 or 13 to make sure whether the issue occurs or not?

Hi @Sandrespium I tried for ios < 15 on real device, I don’t have this issue. But I never tried it on simulators.
