iOS - Appium Node.js: Unable to start WebDriverAgent session

Question

Hi support,  
  
All works very well for Android app but I still have issues about Appium Node.JS for iOS app :(  
  
I have the following error: "Unable to start WebDriverAgent session because of xcodebuild failure: "Could not proxy command to remote server. Original error: Error: read ECONNRESET". Make sure you follow the tutorial at https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/blob/master/docs/real-device-config.md. Try to remove the WebDriverAgentRunner application from the device if it is installed and reboot the device."  
In local, I was it too and I solved that by following that is explained here: https://support.tricentis.com/community/article.do?number=KB0013770  
  
But how can I do that in DeviceFarm? I cannot open WDA xcproject...!  
  
Thanks a lot for your helps!

Of course: https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/home?region=us-west-2#/projects/0e375d90-acf2-4049-8d84-83c39eeedc24/runs/059d2cfb-96d5-4188-a03a-13b6289760c6/jobs/00000  
  
I tried a lot of things:  
- By changing appium version used  
- By providing a own DerivedDataPath  
- By providing a Keychain  
 Nothing was ok :(  
  
Thank you very much for your help!  
  
Best regards,

Hi,   
  
I tried again by coming back to default tests specs file and It works!!! --> https://us-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/home?region=us-west-2#/projects/0e375d90-acf2-4049-8d84-83c39eeedc24/runs/94fd86b3-f9f9-4eb4-b54d-a47ca7310129/jobs/00000  
  
Another question, when appium server starts, device name, app path are provided in command line. However, platformVersion doesn't seem provided. In documentation, env var DEVICEFARM_DEVICE_PLATFORM_VERSION is not listed!  
There is a way to avoid to provide our-self platform version? Indeed, we don't know this version (that depends on device pool selected).  
  
Again, thanks!

Answer

By using the default tests specs file for iOS, it's work!
