Encountered internal error running command: Error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: "xcodebuild failed with code 70"

I am trying to launch an iOS app with Appium on iPhone 5S real device. This is my set up

Appium version : Version 1.10.0 (1.10.0.20181230.2)

Xcode : Version10.1 beta 2

Mac : 10.14.2

iPhone : 5S

iOS Version: 12.2

Desired Capabilities Used in Appium:

{
  "app": "/Users/shalika/Desktop/testapp.ipa",
  "deviceName": "YSS (12.1.3)",
  "udid": "2d5e0eb5faedbe17d590e2f72d3888b67a997e03",
  "automationName": "XCUITest",
  "platformName": "iOS"
}

When I start the appium session to run the app on my real device, appium log shows below error.

Error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: "xcodebuild failed with code 70". 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.

Any idea to solve the problem?

Solution

  • Appium 1.10.0 did not include support for Xcode 10.2, which is required to build WebDriverAgent for iOS 12.2.

    Upgrade to the latest Appium version and your problem should go away.
