launchTimeout capability is ignored, session setup exceeds 60 seconds

Description

Facing various issues, not able to run tests at all. Similar problems with running consistently on Android, perhaps not as bad? At least on Android the screen would unlock sometimes

Failed to create WDA session. Retrying…

The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver server for URL http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/session timed out after 60 seconds.

[Appium][debug] [XCUITest] ‘pgrep -nif xcodebuild.*55adcd589527d1cafb8bab01ca1636152efdaabf’ didn’t detect any matching processes. Return code: 1 [Appium][debug] [XCUITest] ‘pgrep -nif iproxy 8100’ didn’t detect any matching processes. Return code: 1

Here are my capabilities:

            dc.SetCapability("platformName", "iOS");
            dc.SetCapability("platformVersion", d.iosVer);
            dc.SetCapability("udid", d.udid);
            dc.SetCapability("deviceName", d.phoneName);
            dc.SetCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
            dc.SetCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NoReset, true);
            dc.SetCapability(MobileCapabilityType.FullReset, false);
            //dc.SetCapability("showXcodeLog", true);
            dc.SetCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NewCommandTimeout, 180);
            dc.SetCapability(IOSMobileCapabilityType.LaunchTimeout, 160000);
            dc.SetCapability("app", $"{root}{slash}appium_lib{slash}Debug-iphoneos{slash}IntegrationApp.app");

Environment

• Windows/macOS/Linux
• .NET 4.7.1
• node v9.11.1, npm v5.8.0
• Appium 1.7.2
• Latest selenium client, etc
• iPhone 7 Plus (real)

Details

WDA session times out after 60 seconds, specifying a newCommandTimeout and/or launchTimeout capability does not resolute the issue as it seems to be entirely ignored in place of the original 60 second figure.

FWIW, Xcode builds the IntegrationApp and WebDriverAgentRunner fine from the IDE (and they install) but when trying to build from command line via xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner I run into the following problem with cpu architecture:

i see things are changed.

is it noted anywhere an internet connection is required to get an ios driver session opened? Our app needs to connect to a hotspot that lacks internet, and I figured this out myself… nothing in the Appium logs was very helpful in the root cause analysis. This is the rule rather than the exception with Appium.

@gamesguru Just for your reference, the guidance related to your issue, and my response is well documented here. There could probably be a new page to describe how to instantiate a session for each constructor or most commonly used/required.
