Answer 1

In my case, the problem was that I had installed the xcuitest driver in package.json. When I uninstalled the driver and installed it in the global appium, the code 65 error disappeared and my tests started working again.

Answer 2

I updated my appium server and my old tests which were giving me this error started working.

Answer 3

You can use this command on the terminal:

cd /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent
xcodebuild -allowProvisioningUpdates -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination 'id=Your Device UDID' test

Answer 4

The configs from Ashraf answer worked for me. I was facing this issue for more than 24 hours. I have similar configs, iPad with iOS 14.4 and Appium desktop 1.20.2 version, and XCode in 12.4 version.

Answer 5

I had same issue with Appium-desktop after upgrading to Xcode 12.4 and trying to run on ios 14.4, it worked for me after adding the following capabilities: { "xcodeOrgId": "OrgID", "xcodeSigningId": "SignId", }

i'm using appium-desktop 1.18.3

Answer 6

Please run the Xcode project which is located here on your device once: /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj

And let me know if you face any problems.

Answer 7

WebdriverAgent is not built and tested in your mobile device. I faced the same issue and resolved it by getting the Webdriver agent to open in my mobile device.
