Error while trying to launch the test recording tool for ios device

Product Forums Katalon Recorder

Hello, I am trying to set up a recording of a test on an ios device (iPhone SE, iOS 16). I followed the instructions here:

and here:

The installation via tools>ios did not work for me, Installation of WebDriverAgent throws:

The following build commands failed:

Ld /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/build/Release-iphoneos/WebDriverAgentLib.framework/WebDriverAgentLib normal (in target ‘WebDriverAgentLib’ from project ‘WebDriverAgent’)

(1 failure)

Failed to run the installation step: “Building WebDriverAgentLib…”.

Command: “xcodebuild build -target WebDriverAgentLib -destination generic/platform=iOS DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=”********“”

So I tried the manual installation. The manual states:

For Appium version 1.14.2 or older, copy the following command instead:

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/webdriveragent

I am on appium version 1.22.3, but the webdriveragent folder is not to be found in appium-xcuitest-driver folder, it is in fact in cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent folder. So I ran the command mkdir -p Resources/WebDriverAgent.bundle in the appium-webdriveragent folder. Next, if I run sh ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d , then I get “No such file or directory” I see that there is no bootstrap.sh file there. The only .sh file there is build.sh.

Anyways I followed the whole manual despite this problem, now If I try to launch the recording tool, with my device and .ipa file set, I get this error:

Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: xcodebuild failed with code 65

Googling a troubleshooting this error sent me to a thread where someone had a solution, to rename the “Product Bundle Identifier” to a custom name. I did that with all the targets in xcode and re-built, but the error still persist.

Does anyone have some idea about what I could try to eliminate the error? Tips would be much appreciated.

I’m using mac with M1 chip, Venture OS. Katalon version 8.5.1. Appium version 1.22.3 as previously mentioned.

Hi,

This seems to be the problem of version your app is using. Please try to upgrade Katalon to the latest version. As well, I found this kind of reference Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: xcodebuild failed with code 65 - Issues/Bugs - Appium Discuss suggesting that we should reinstall xcode because the error is xcodebuild failed with code 65.

Hope this can help.
