Thanks for the response… @Venkatesh_Akula.
I follow the each and every step but still its displaying same error. I need to resolve this error as soon as possible , Please guide me any once.

Venkatesh_Akula 2017-10-26 16:42:57 UTC #5

Did WebDriverAgent showed you ‘Build Succeeded’ in Xcode?

freddy 2017-10-27 00:08:06 UTC #6

This seem recent problem for me. Last week my dev environment was working just fine. Appium 1.7.1 both UI version and console version were working. I also have iOS11 on my real device iPhone. I have followed these steps many times before and it worked. Yes it compiles in xCode too.

Then today I launch Appium UI and I see an update message. Let it download and restart. Now when I launch a session it either does not work or it takes a crazy long time. Like I gave up waiting, and went to do something else. Then later I see it actually worked. Just too forever.

freddy 2017-10-27 00:17:20 UTC #7

Finding same thing launching the inspector tool from Appium UI.

Start Server v1.7.1
Click on UI inspector tool icon
See dialog pop up
Select from my pre-saved settings that I have been using for a while now
Start Session

See cute little spinny thing rotating around. Session actually starts on phone. Back on the Mac cute spinny thing still going and going.

KARUNAKAR 2017-10-27 06:41:17 UTC #8

Yes @Venkatesh_Akula. Its displaying Build Succeeded. But the WebDriverAgent app is not displaying in mobile.

Venkatesh_Akula 2017-10-27 06:47:48 UTC #9

When you run the test case keep an eye on your Mobile screen, the webdriver agent app will be installed and uninstall immediately. I don’t know the reason for this, but what you should do here is as soon as you see the webdriver agent app installed disconnect the cable from mac

Then in iPhone > Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management

webdriver agent will be listed here > tap on it and click ‘Trust’ option. Come to home screen & click on webdriver agent app once, you should see the app opens & a black screen is displayed.

Reconnect the device and rerun your test cases., it should work.

Hello @Venkatesh_Akula @KARUNAKAR Are you able to resolve this issue

I am also getting same problem and could not able to find the root cause, i think i had code sign everything properly but getting the same error

“xcodebuild failed with code 65”. 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.

Thanks to all… My issue also resolved.

venkat4 2017-11-13 17:44:20 UTC #13

@Venkatesh_Akula i tried everything whatever is explained in the video except this (Settings => General => Device Management on the device to trust the developer and allow the WebDriverAgentRunner)

I could not find WebDriverAgent in device management settings to trust it. is there anything else i need to do?
and by the way is it simulator or real device in the video?

Venkatesh_Akula 2017-11-14 06:43:54 UTC #14

** Ensure you trust the developer in your real iPhone else, the app will get deleted as soon as its installed.

Then in iPhone - Settings - General - Profiles & Device Management

webdriver agent will be listed here - tap on it and click ‘Trust’ option. Come to home screen & click on webdriver agent app once, you should see the app opens & a black screen is displayed.

Reconnect the device and rerun your test cases., it should work. Try this multiple times until you get it right.

@Venkatesh_Akula When webdriver agent app is installed and then when i removed the cable, i could not find in iPhone - Settings - General - Profiles & Device Management. Tried several times but no luck. is there any other work around

Venkatesh_Akula 2017-11-16 05:39:28 UTC #16

Oh, you have to unplug the cable immediately. You can follow the steps in this link for other ways to make this work.

venkat4 2017-11-16 05:53:22 UTC #17

Yes followed all the steps but no luck, i am not understanding which configuration or permissions got messed up. I had open ticket, please check for detail info

@venkat4 Guys, it happens when setup for appium have some problem in configuring webdriver-agent in appium library, you can even configure webdriver-agent with free apple developer account as well, follow these steps in video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyijACVRQOc
It worked for me, hope it will help everybody here!
Still you find any problem, comment on that video, they will follow Happy testing:)
