I can not launch the IOS application on my iphone emulator

Hello,
I contact you to have information, I am looking to automate a mobile application .IPA
The problem is when I run the application via katalon, it installs the application but the application open and closes immediatly. An error 66 is generated.
Moreover, during the Xcode configuration, I have an error message on the signature: "Failed to create provisioning profile.
The app ID “com.facebook.WebDriverAgentRunner” can not be registered to your development team. Change your bundle to a unique string to try again. "
"No profiles for ‘com.facebook.WebDriverAgentRunner’ were found
Xcode could not find any iOS App Development provisioning profiles matching ‘com.facebook.WebDriverAgentRunner’. "
I select my profile Apple ID.
So I have a question, must I have a profile IOS developer? Iphone developer? both?

in the build settings, I selected IOS Developer for the Signing part WebDriverAgentRunner and for WebDriverAgentLib.


My opinion is that I must have on my Apple ID a signature Ios Developer can you confirm it?

When I launch the start application with IPA, here is the log generator:

Thanks in advance and I apologize for my level in English …

Hi Mehdi,

First, you’re right - you’ll need to select your “iPhone Developer” signing certificate for the WebDriverAgentRunner. You’ll need to change the Product Bundle Identifier for WebDriverAgentRunner to something other than the default Facebook one (because that’s already taken). So in the Build Settings tab, you can change the Product Bundle Identifier to something like com.mycompany.wda.runner.

Secondly, I don’t think you can test a .ipa file on a simulator - .ipa files are usually created to be run on real devices. To test on a simulator, you can use the .app file (which is unsigned) from your project’s DerivedData directory.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your return so fast. I will try all this and come back to you.
What is the difference between Iphone developer and IOS Developer?

Thanks again for your help

Mehdi

I managed to remove all xcode errors.
I do not understand this sentence: “you can use the .app file (which is unsigned) from your project’s DerivedData directory.”
Does this mean that the project correspond to the app created under Xcode?

When I run with the emulator, WebDriverAgentRunner installs on my emulator but it puts me this error message:


This is normal?

Thank you for your help Chris and for the time you spend helping me

Looking forward

Hi @mehdi.tassi,

The difference between “iPhone Developer” and “iOS Developer” is a good question. From what I can tell, they’re going to have the same effect. “iPhone Developer” is how the Apple developer certificates are named, so if you choose one manually, you’ll probably see that. “iOS Developer” is used when you allow Xcode to manage code signing for you.

Here’s an interesting article about provisioning profiles and code signing in Xcode:

– Chris

Regarding your question about the .app file:

When you build a project in Xcode, it puts the built application in a “DerivedData” directory. The file is put in an unsigned .app package. The location of the DerivedData directory can be set in your Xcode->Preferences->Locations settings:

In my case, above, I have it building to a /DerivedData directory within my Xcode project’s directory, so in my case, the .app file is located at: MyProject/DerivedData/MyProject/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyProject.app.

So, when I want to run the Katalon tests against my app, I can point to that file in the Katalon test, since the file is a) unsigned and b) built for simulators.

As for the error about “Could not attach to pid: 9796”, that is NOT normal. The first thing you could try doing is starting the simulator you have called “iPhone Test Katalon 11.4”. Using the simulator menu option for Hardware->Erase All Contents and Settings, clear the simulator’s installed apps and try again.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Hi Chris and sorry for the delay.
Thank you for your help and your implication.
I managed to recover the .app and launch the simulator.
But I have a problem.
the application installs, as well as Web Driver Agent.
on the other hand once imported on the simulator, the application does not open and I have a strange feeling.

Here is some info:
Xcode version = 10.1
Appium version = 1.8.2-beta
simulator device = Ipad 9,7 ios 11.3
Katalon version = 6.1.0

On Xcode WDA the lib and runner this build well without problem.Idem for my app (which I run on the simulator to test.
I suppose there is a conflict with WDA but I can not solve this problem. I tried to kill the Appium process but in vain I still have this message …

here are the logs that Katalon generates for me:

Thanks you Chris for your help,

Best regards.

Hello,
I come back to you because I managed to set up the automation of tests on IOS. The last problem came from my app.

I put my configuration so that everyone takes it if necessary.
Appium version = 1.8.2-beta
Xcode = Version 10.1 (10B61)
Simulator IOS = 11.3 IOS ipad 9,7
Katalon version = 6.1.0

Thanks all for help,

best regards,

Hi mehdi,

Did you have any specific settings on the app? Right now when I use my .app file Katalon says that simulator architecture is not supported.

Also what does it mean on the error “Make sure the correct deployment target has been selected for its compilation in Xcode” ?

I got it running already. Followed the instructions for the build settings to x86.

Versions:
Mojave 10.14.5
Katalon Studio: 7.2.1
Xcode: 11.3.1 (11C504)

Hi @santwana.bhati,

Could you try upgrading to Appium 1.15.1 to see if that helps? You can use the command on the command line:

npm install -g appium@1.15.1

Hope this helps,

Chris

Thanks Chris,
Your solution for how to execute coffee timer, step by step solution worked for me.
I am using appium 1.18.2. (Not facing any issue with this version as well)
