iOS 15 Cocoapods installation crashes upon start (2.2.1)

[whoyawn]

Opened up a new project, installed EarlGrey2 via Cocoapods, tried running UI tests, crashed and got this error message:

Failed to get automation session for com.huyanh.ios15crashes:50763: Timed out waiting for target to check in.

Podfile

platform :ios, '13.0'
use_frameworks!
inhibit_all_warnings!

source 'https://github.com/cocoapods/specs.git'

target 'ios15crashes (iOS)' do
  pod 'EarlGreyApp'
end
target 'Tests iOS' do
  pod 'EarlGreyTest'
end

Nothing special was in UI tests:

import XCTest

class Tests_iOS: XCTestCase {

    override func setUpWithError() throws {
        // Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class.

        // In UI tests it is usually best to stop immediately when a failure occurs.
        continueAfterFailure = false

        // In UI tests it’s important to set the initial state - such as interface orientation - required for your tests before they run. The setUp method is a good place to do this.
    }

    override func tearDownWithError() throws {
        // Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class.
    }

    func testExample() throws {
        // UI tests must launch the application that they test.
        let app = XCUIApplication()
        app.launch()

        // Use recording to get started writing UI tests.
        // Use XCTAssert and related functions to verify your tests produce the correct results.
        XCTAssert(true)
    }

}

Any updates on this? This makes the entire thing unusuable on iOS 15.

Ignore any previous comment from me - we would need to do a new release of EarlGrey to cover Xcode 13. Support is fully present in building from source where we generally prioritize.

Hello, do you have any news or estimated date for the cocoapods release please?

Hi @tirodkar , Can you please give us an estimated date for a new release to support Xcode 13?

[ushasanaga]

Hi @tirodkar could you provide an update here on the ETA for a new release to support XCode 13 while building via cocoapods? We are at a risk for our upcoming release due to this. Would appreciate your response here. Thanks

Hey folks,

I am checking with the rest of the team for the estimated delivery of iOS 15 CocoaPods support. Here is what you can try right now - you can build the AppFramework and TestLib components at HEAD for your architectures and then point your CocoaPods to use the local development path.

Also works for https://github.com/google/EarlGrey/issues/1676.

I'll let everyone know the ETA once I hear back from the rest of the team. Thanks.

Hi @tirodkar , I tried to build the AppFramework and TestLib from the source code and it is still crashing in the same place.

Crash details: /EarlGrey/TestLib/EarlGreyImpl/XCUIApplication+GREYTest.m: test failure: Failed to get automation session for com.xxxx.xxx:80023: Timed out while requesting automation session for com.xxxx.xxx (pid:80023).

Hi @tirodkar, any update on when can we see a new release for cocoapods with XCode 13 support? we are like others here are blocked due to this and don't have the luxury to build it via source ....

@tirodkar

Please add details how to use local builds of AppFramework and TestLib with CocoaPods.
