Hi @pgeliukh, Is the issue resolved? I am facing the same issue. I tried everything from this doc [https://docs.katalon.com/docs/create-tests/troubleshooting-for-test-creation/troubleshoot-mobile-automated-testing/fail-to-start-the-appium-server-in-60-seconds](https://docs.katalon.com/docs/create-tests/troubleshooting-for-test-creation/troubleshoot-mobile-automated-testing/fail-to-start-the-appium-server-in-60-seconds) I am using Appium 2.0 & Katlon studio 8.5.5 [katalon setup.pdf](https://forum.katalon.com/uploads/short-url/82Iop0SxmNwqdgVxjGGpm9YP2hq.pdf) (83.9 KB) please let me know if I need to do any changes ---

@gpramod.dath I believe that KS version 8.5.5 does not support appium 2.0 directly. You have a couple of options. You could downgrade to appium 1.XX (one problem with this is xcode 14 won’t work with appium 1.XX, there was a fix that only went in to appium 2.0), use remote execution to utilize appium 2.0 with that version of KS, or you can install the proof of concept version of katalon studio that supports appium 2.0. Here are links to a couple of those options: [https://docs.katalon.com/docs/create-tests/manage-projects/project-settings/desired-capabilities/remote-execution-for-mobile-testing-in-katalon-studio#ariaid-title1](https://docs.katalon.com/docs/create-tests/manage-projects/project-settings/desired-capabilities/remote-execution-for-mobile-testing-in-katalon-studio#ariaid-title1) [https://docs.katalon.com/docs/general-information/proof-of-concept/execute-mobile-tests-with-appium-2.x-in-katalon-studio-poc](https://docs.katalon.com/docs/general-information/proof-of-concept/execute-mobile-tests-with-appium-2.x-in-katalon-studio-poc) > [@Failed to build WebDriverAgent to deployed on iOS 16](http://forum.katalon.com/t/failed-to-build-webdriveragent-to-deployed-on-ios-16/78524): > > I’m getting an error while building a WebDriverAgent for testing on iOS 16 Mac mini with chip M1 (OS 13 beta) Xcode 14 Official iPhone SE 2020 (iOS 16 Official) This my error on terminal …etc… Testing failed: Cannot link directly with dylib/framework, your binary is not an allowed client of /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XCTAutomationSupport.framework/XCTAutomationSupport for architecture arm64 Testing cancelled … I have been using remote execution with appium 2.0 for a while and it has been working for me. ---
