WebDriverAgent runner installs in a repeated loop on iOS 17.3 #44

Hi, I have followed the instructions given in GADS device provider & GADS UI. When I try to launch the UI, i see that the WebDriverAgent runner is getting installed repeatedly in a loop on the device. When I look at the logs, it shows an error: "Error waiting for WebDriverAgent(xcodebuild) command to finish.. it is errored out or device <> disconnected agent killed"

I am not sure what is wrong with the setup. Can you advise? Env -> iOS 17.3 and mac os ventura 13.6.4

Lol, I've never seen agent killed error before :sweat_smile: Ventura means you are not using Xcode 15? I would assume this is the reason for iOS 17 failures on first glance. Have you set up the signing for WebDriverAgent? Did you try running it on a device through Xcode directly? Is the developer trusted on the device?

I am using Xcode build15.2 and signing profile and other things have taken care. Here is something I have observed

when I run xcodebuild test-without-building command via terminal . I see that webdriver agent runner is working as expected and http end point deviceip/status returns response
But when I run xcodebuild test-with-building command installs webdriveragentrunner repeatedly in a loop.
I tried to modify one of the files iOS.go , line 76 . It did not help. I assume webdriveragent.ipa file is not needed for ios. Can you advise?

The build-for-testing command is executed only once on provider startup, this is to speed up deployment on each device later with test-without-building. In general at the moment *.ipa file is not needed because the provider uses xcodebuild directly to deploy on the devices from the already built WebDriverAgent code. Do you have paid developer account? Also I was asking if you tried running WebDriverAgent from Xcode directly, maybe the developer needs to be trusted from the device settings.

I would suggest you try out the develop branches for both the provider and the UI. There are a few differences in setup and you'll have to drop the current MongoDB data, but in theory it should work better

I have got a Developer account. It worked when I ran directly with Xcode . The build was successful, trusted the developer on the device.. I can see the <deviceip>/status endpoint returns valid response. Let me try with develop branch.

Thank you!

I've created a Discord server that is in the develop branch readme, you can join if you want so we can chat/debug faster :P
