Every time i try running the webdriveragentrunner in real device i am facing the bellow error and have no idea on how to resolve this issue.
iPhone7[iOS]-15.7
XCode version - 14.0
Appium Desktop version - 1.22.3-4

error build: Cannot link directly with dylib/framework, your binary is not an allowed client of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XCTAutomationSupport.framework/XCTAutomationSupport for architecture arm64

unfortunately upgrading to a BETA is a bit bizarre and does not solve the problem for anyone whose entire test framework won’t work with appium 2 and would need to modify quite a few tests. I’m keen for an answer as to why the HEAD driver is incompatible, because all the machines that we set up 2 months ago are perfectly fine running still. Any tips on how to install the older and still compatible xcuitest drivers? I’m a week away from a release, I cannot be doing a migration now.

Solution for WDA Error with Xcode 14.1 with appium installed via node.

Hi Mykola,
It is humbly requested I need your Help. Please Help.
------------------>Appium 1.x<-----------------------------------

Xcode version 14.2

Appium version 1.22.3-4

node v18.12.1

MacOS Ventura 13.1 (I am unable to downgrade to xcode 13.4 because of lastest mac software).

Cannot link directly with dylib/framework, your binary is not an allowed client of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XCTAutomationSupport.framework/XCTAutomationSupport for architecture arm64

Then I replace the current WDA of appium v-1.22.3-4 with WDA 4.9.0 (unzip and replaced) And I successfully build an Integration app on a real Device

But i got this Error [W3C] Encountered internal error running command: Error: Could not load a driver for automationName ‘XCUITest’ and platformName ‘ios’. Please verify your Appium installation

Looks like your setup is broken. Try to completely remove and reinstall the server and drivers. Perhaps, it would even make sense to delete package leftovers manually after the uninstall from node_modules folder to be safe.
