Runtime error when build with Xcode 15

[El-hombre-del-fuego]

I can build and install IntegrationApp and WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner with Xcode 15. But when I run a test, I get following error:

_uncaughtException: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '_callChannel')
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '_callChannel')
    at startExecuting (/Users/andreas/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-ios-device/lib/xctest.js:199:39)

This happens on iOS 16 and 17.

How did you start the instance? At least https://appium.github.io/appium-xcuitest-driver/5.11/run-preinstalled-wda/ should not work for iOS 17.

Note This method does not work for iOS 17/tvOS 17 environment for now due to platform changes. Please use the xcodebuild method.

Possibly this is Xcode 15 env..?

Yes it's Xcode 15. And yes, I start with "appium:usePreinstalledWDA": true

Perhaps duplicate of https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/19206 (so closing this itself)

My local did not have the issue when I ran a session with iOS 16 and Xcode 15 in the github issue, but some Xcode 15 environments might have communication issues for non-iOS 17.

I build with Xcode 15 IntegrationApp, WebDriverAgentLib and WebDriverAgentRunner on my real iPhone 12 (iOS 17). Without errors > all good.

Then I start appium server local and run with appium inspector: { "appium:deviceName": "iPhone von Andreas", "platformName": "iOS", "appium:platformVersion": "17.0", "appium:udid": "00008101-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", "appium:noReset": false, "appium:updatedWDABundleId": "at.handyparken.WebDriverAgentRunner", "appium:usePreinstalledWDA": false, "appium:wdaLaunchTimeout": 120000, "appium:automationName": "XCUITest", "appium:showXcodeLog": true }

appium.log

Then I get this error from appium inspector: Failed to create session. An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.

What error do you see when you run the xcodebuild like /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild build-for-testing test-without-building -project /Users/andreas/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -derivedDataPath /Users/andreas/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WebDriverAgent-hcxcoazuwnrlnxemwnkavjpmhjtl -destination id=00008101-000658503484001E IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=17.0 GCC_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=0?

We observed Apple's xcodebuild command did not detect the device properly, while Xcode 15 did. This was not via Appium, xcodebuild command internal thing, so there was nothing we could do. https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/19381
