I had started a session between appium server and simulator(at xcode).
But xcodebuild failed with code 65
xcodebuild error message:

I have kwnown that appium inspector connected with simulator does not need webAgentDriver. It isn't true?
In concolusion,
A simulator must need a WebDriverAgent? not for only a real device?
What is webDriverAgent? I think that it only let appium control iOS devices.
If using xcode 14 we need to have appium 2 and appium inspector installed to be able to access the app
Make sure you have node 16.16, if you don’t you can install nvm and use it to install multiple versions of node on the machine, you can fine NVM here
Install Appium 2 using: npm install -g appium#next
Once Appium is installed run appium -v to confirm that you have version > 2
Install XCUITest driver: appium driver install xcuitest
Install UIAutomator2: appium driver install uiautomator
Run appium driver list to confirm that both drivers are installed
Install Appium Inspector: can be downloaded here, download the latest version.

We have UI tests to be started by Jenkins using Appium, but it results with an error:
remote stacktrace: UnknownError: An unknown server-side error occurred
while processing the command. Original error: Error getting AVD with
retry. Original error: Condition unmet after 60063 ms. Timing out.
And there is no emulator process found when Appium's task is running.
Also Appium's output says:
[debug] [ADB] Emulator Nexus_5X_API_26 not running
[debug] [ADB] Trying to find Nexus_5X_API_26 emulator
[debug] [ADB] Getting connected emulators
[debug] [ADB] Getting connected devices...
[debug] [ADB] 0 device(s) connected
[debug] [ADB] 0 emulator(s) connected
OK, I see that device wasn't started and this is cause for the "Timeout" error.
But why Appium can't start it?
I'm able to get the emulator executable, and Jenkin's job which is starting Appium's task can see the device:
[Pipeline] sh
+ avdmanager list avd
...

test
If I'm starting device manually just by running:
/android/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_26
And trigger Jenkin's job after this - I have another error:
...

Any ideas?
Can't even google anything with the "appium Never got a response from command" request...
Also, I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my workstation's laptop - all works just perfectly.

UPD 2 Not sure how - but not it works if run emulator manually.
But still, there is a problem with starting the emulator from Appium itself.
Found the weird error in its log:
[ADB] [AVD OUTPUT] Fatal: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display ((null):0, (null))
[ADB] [AVD OUTPUT] INFO: QtLogger.cpp:66: Fatal: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display ((null):0, (null))
[ADB] Emulator avd Nexus_5X_API_26 exited with code null, signal SIGABRT
Can't google for reason yet but it looks like the main issue - something with a connection to the $DISPLAY, although it present.
I am able to start and run tests on emulator without any problem. I use following three capabilities along with other capabilities while setting up the driver.
avd: Name of AVD
avdLaunchTimeout: Time out to wait for emulator to launch.
avdReadyTimeout: Time out to wait for emulator to get ready.
Try using these capabilities and you should be good.
Also check if there is any updates for Android SDK and emulator. If there is update available, it's good idea to update it.
Settings or python:
options = UiAutomator2Options()
options.avd = 'YOUR_AVD_NAME'
# Timeout to wait until Android Emulator is started in milliseconds
options.avd_launch_timeout = 25 * 1000
# Timeout to wait until Android Emulator is fully booted and is ready for usage in milliseconds
options.avd_ready_timeout = 20 * 1000
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub', options=options)
I'm trying to run an apk file from my test suite in appium, the emulator runs successfully but at the time of launch of the apk it says apk not found. The path looks correct to me still unable to figure out the solution.
Below is the error from Appium.

I tried following path apart from the one listed above:
1. ./src/test
2. Start from the module name which is part of /src/test i.e. modulename/src/test
3. Tried ~./src/test
4. Tried ~/src/test
Any pointers as to what is it that I'm missing?
Also, why am I getting this ([debug] [AndroidDriver] Shutting down Android driver) before the apk launch?
Code:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FULL_RESET,"true");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,"Nexus10");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION,"4.4");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"Android");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP,"myapp.package");
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, "20");
capabilities.setCapability("app", "/src/test/resources/myapp.apk");
AndroidDriver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4724/wd/hub"), capabilities);
AndroidDriver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.PORTRAIT);
log.info("Set up done for capabilities");
Thanks in advance.
If the 'src' folder is in the same location as you're running from, you want to remove the preceding '/' as that's telling Appium to look starting at the root of the entire file system rather than from your local path.
src/test/resources/myapp.apk
My experience is that using '~' does not work with Appium. I personally have parameterized the app location and pull it from an environment variable to account for it being in different places on different systems, but in all cases I provide the path from the file system root as it's simplest.
To start with I got a .ipa file from the development team to test, the developer has mentioned the .ipa file with the device UDID so that I can install it on my iPhone.

[Xcode] Code signing is required for product type 'UI Testing Bundle' in SDK 'iOS 10.0'
During my execution of script I am getting the above issue.
Request the team to help me in identifying the issue and how to resolve it.
Thanks,

Run the below command in terminal to open WebDriverAgent project.
Open usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj
Now this will open the WebDriverAgent project in xcode.
Go to build settings of the project as shown in below screenshot and add the development team.
If no options are available in development team to select then follow the below procedure to add the account.
a. Click on xcode and navigate to preferences.
b. Click on Accounts.
c. Click on ‘+’ symbol and add the account same as the account used for the code signing activity.
Now you can select the added account in Development Team.
The account selected for the development team should be same as the account selected for code signing activity.
Now add development team for all the targets also similarly by navigating to build settings.
Run the code to check for any errors and build succeeded message should be displayed.
Please refer Bluedev comment as well.
if you are unable to execute appium script even after creating a developer team and building the app in Xcode..
Follow the steps given in the below link and try running appium after those steps, I tried it (note: there were some unthinkable libraries missing installation:) and working for me. I am having Mac OS 10.12.5 and Appium version 1.6.5. Hope this is helpful.

You can use Appium to install your app on your device, Just uninstall your App manually and in setUp code use absolute path of .apk file like this:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
capabilities.setCapability("VERSION", "5.1.1");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Name");
File appDir = new File("/home/filename/ProjectFile");
File app = new File(appDir, "appname.apk");
capabilities.setCapability("app",app.getAbsolutePath());
It will install your app on your device.
You said you tried to launch on real device, but your logs saying you tried to launch on simulator.
If you are using UI version of appium, Please uncheck Force Device option in appium and give UDID of real device which you connected in appium and prelaunch. your app will be installed.
I am running the appium test script on iOS real device., where I am getting the ideviceinstaller error.
I have installed ideviceinstaller manually using "brew install --HEAD ideviceinstaller" still getting the same error.

I was getting this error after installing the Appium Inspector. What ultimately fixed it for me was what you have already tried, specifically installing ideviceinstaller manually.
Until I figured that out, I just put 'libplist.3.dylib' on my path so it would be found. It felt like a hack, but it worked.
