xcrun: error: unable to find utility "devicectl", not a developer tool or in PATH

I'm trying run Android tests on mac and I got the following error:

xcrun: error: sh -c '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -find devicectl 2> /dev/null' failed with exit code 17664: (null) (errno=Invalid argument)

I don't have the latest XCode installed, and I think it's introduced by https://github.com/sonos/dinghy/pull/215.

I'm not developing for iOS/mac right now so an old version of XCode is fine for me.

Would you please kindly fix this?

Hey @ZhaoXiangXML, can you please confirm that this fixes it, or is there any other places where we need to check first ?

[ZhaoXiangXML]

No it's not working. I got the same error message.

Please note I have xcrun, what's missing is devicectl.

[kali]

All right. Sorry for the confusion. Can you try again ?

[ZhaoXiangXML]

Looks like it's working for Android, how ever I can't see my iOS device with cargo dinghy all-devices.

I've Xcode 13.4.1 and an iOS 14.3 device plugged in. It can be seen with 0.6.8.

The expected behavior is I should be able to use iOS 16 or earlier, with an old version of Xcode.

OK, this is getting really cumbersome. I guess it means we need to re-instatiate the ios-deploy way to discover devices. I don't have old xcode configurations around, and this specific case is not of great interest for us.

If you want to get this to work, I'm happy to look at a PR. It will be faster than going back and forth.

[ZhaoXiangXML]

Well that should be good enough for now, sorry for the trouble.

I will have to upgrade XCode someday anyway.

Thank you for the quick response.
