Appium 1.15.1 - Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: Command 'carthage bootstrap --platform iOS\,tvOS' exited with code 1

The problem

I try to run a session with basic capabilities

{ "platformName": "iOS", "platformVersion": "13.4", "deviceName": "iPhone 8 Plus", "automationName": "XCUITest", "udid": "613549A3-01E5-402F-8F71-F2FF5692DB80", "browserName": "Safari", "noReset": true }

And the application desktop stuck in this

[info] [WebDriverAgent] Fetching dependencies [info] [WebDriverAgent] Installing/updating dependencies for platforms 'iOS', 'tvOS' [info] [XCUITest] Launching WebDriverAgent on the device [info] [WebDriverAgent] Fetching dependencies [info] [WebDriverAgent] Installing/updating dependencies for platforms 'iOS', 'tvOS' [debug] [BaseDriver] Event 'wdaStartFailed' logged at 1587500134169 (15:15:34 GMT-0500 (CDT)) [debug] [XCUITest] Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: Command 'carthage bootstrap --platform iOS\,tvOS' exited with code 1

I have tried several things

1 - brew uninstall -g carthage; brew install carthage Then force the sym links to overwrite the bad link – brew link --overwrite carthage

2 - cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent rm -rf Carthage ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Guys, I’ve got a solution.

I have been seeing the same issue in my team but I don’t have it on my laptop. I couldn’t figure out until I got a new laptop and ran into the same situation. I ended up here and saw you guys had the same issue.

Not sure if this could help (if you already have found your way out of it).

Here is my solution.

Installation set:

• appium 1.17.1 (it may not neccessarily to be in this version)
• appium desktop 1.17.1 (it may not neccessarily to be in this version)
• xcode 11.3.1 (has to be in this version in my solution) See all the Xcode versions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xip-file

Important: Open Xcode > Preference > Locations Command Line Tools: Xcode 11.3.1

Enjoy your tests !

Um colega meu teve o mesmo erro:

Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: Command ‘carthage bootstrap --platform iOS,tvOS’ exited with code 1 (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)

E resolveu desinstalando o Appium e instalando de novo.

A friend had the same error:

Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: Command ‘carthage bootstrap --platform iOS,tvOS’ exited with code 1 (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)

And fixed it by uninstalling e installing Appium.
