Xcode build fails with error code 65 because of an alert

Issues/Bugs
1

System:
Appium version : 1.6.1-beta
Platform: iOS and Android (need help with iOS)
Real device - iPhone 5s iOS 9
Tests written in Java
OS - Mac El Capitan 10.11.6

Hi , not sure if this is a bug or more of a feature request but i have the following issue that i need help with.
I’m getting the following error when trying to launch my app

Now i have all the provisions profiles signed and everything and i know why i am getting this error.
I’m getting the error because i have an alert on the foreground “No SIM Card Installed”,
which is fine because i really don’t have a sim on my device (real device , iphone 5s version 9.3.5)

once i manually click “OK” on the alert and running again our test suite , appium driver is created successfully and
the tests finish as expected.

So i need help or an idea on how to get rid of that alert without manual steps, as these tests are running as part of our nightly build.

Thanks!

have you provided the config file ?

3

i am assuming you meant - https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver#real-devices
if so , i did the manual configuration alternative.
Basically appium works , but only if i don’t have any alerts during his initialization

4

I’ve noticed the same thing; if there’s an alert onscreen during the launch of the app, it appears not to work. Once the app is launched it seems that pop-ups do not seem to be an issue.

5

I was able to over come the error 65 with the below guide:

6

What do you mean by alerts ? can you share the screenshot of what you are talking about ?

7

Its the system alerts
For example , No Sim Card Alert

8

Whenever there is a system popup you will surely get that , are using autoDismissAlerts as one of the capabilities ?

9

I believe that it’s not working on XCUITest , I’m not using this capability

10

This command works for me in Python:

self.driver.switch_to.alert.accept()
11

Anybody found a solution for dismissing alert? I get the same error, WDA cant open because of alert unless I manually dismiss it prior to starting the test.

12

in my case the alert was “No Sim Card” , installing dummy sim card solved it for me.
maybe you can add pre test code and try clicking the button yourself

13

any update on this issue?
