Unable to run iOS tests with locally installed Appium server

The problem

I’m unable to run iOS tests against locally installed Appium server whereas globally installed Appium server works fine. Appium server version is the same in both cases and app is prebuild.

Error: Unable to launch WebDriverAgent because of xcodebuild failure: xcodebuild failed with code 65

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.6.4-beta
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 1.6.3
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Mac OS 10.12.4
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v7.2.0
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 10.3, Xcode 8.3
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

Test run against locally installed Appium server fails with an error

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Common for both global and local test runs

• App is prebuild
• Appium server version is the same

Test run against globally installed Appium server

1. Install Appium server globally: npm install -g appium@beta
2. Launch globally installed Appium server: appium
3. Launch the tests

Result: test is passed

Test run against locally installed Appium server

1. Define package.json

{
  "name": "xxx-test-runner",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "private": true,
  "devDependencies": {
    "appium": "1.6.4-beta"
  }
}

1. Install Appium server locally: npm install
2. Launch test where Appium server is started with command: node node_modules/appium -a localhost -p 4723 --log-level error

Result: test fails with an error

It fails because of WDA warning in Xcode 8.3/iOS 10.3. Try to apply this patch to local WDA source.
