Hello, I have performed all the steps mentioned for the iOS mobile setup defined here ([[Mobile] iOS Setup (Simulators) in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/manage-projects/set-up-projects/mobile-testing/ios/mobile-ios-setup-simulators-in-katalon-studio)) I can intialize WebDriver Agent and also can open the Integration App on my real iOS device, but whenever I try to run the code on my application I am getting following error: Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent. Original error: xcodebuild failed with code 65. This usually indicates an issue with the local Xcode setup or WebDriverAgent project configuration or the driver-to-platform version mismatch. Consider setting ‘showXcodeLog’ capability to true in order to check the Appium server log for build-related error messages.. Make sure you follow the tutorial at [Real Device Configuration - Appium XCUITest Driver](https://appium.github.io/appium-xcuitest-driver/latest/preparation/real-device-config/) Also When I try to inspect the element using Mobile Object Spy I am getting ‘Fail to Start Appium server in 60 seconds’ error. Defining all the versions on my machine Xcode: 16.2 appium - 2.16.0 uiautomator2 @4.1.5 xcuitest. @7.9.1 Node - v20.15.0 Please help me ---

@ashwini the code 65 generally means that the webdriver agent is not setup properly. Are you using a real iOS device or a simulator?
