Failed to build WDA with Xcode 12.3 RC about webdriveragent

[KazuCocoa]

https://github.com/appium/appium-desktop/releases/tag/v1.20.0 and appium 1.20 have

This happens on macOS 10.15 as well

This was expected. We'd need to dynamically adjust https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent/blob/master/Scripts/carthage-wrapper.sh to select either x86_64 or arm64 arch depending on the current Mac architecture.

Also, it is necessary to dynamically adjust .xcconfig files to build arm64 for simulators on such macs as well. "Adjust" simply means to perform a sed/replace operation on the file

Unfortunately I cannot do it myself, since I don't have such machine to test on

[KazuCocoa]

Yeah, I think so. > dynamic something

https://flutter.dev/docs/development/ios-project-migration is probably a similar thing.

Xcode 12.2 had no issue on both M1 (Big Sur) mac and Intel mac (10.15.7), but Xcode 12.3 RC had in both environments.
Carthage builds itself succeeded on both (Xcode 12.2 and 12.3) env via the wrapper.

Carthage builds itself succeeded on both (Xcode 12.2 and 12.3) env via the wrapper.

They did succeed, although I assume these frameworks were only built for x64 on arm-based OS

[KazuCocoa]

With below diff and removing tvOS and Mac stuff from Carthage directory, WDA for iOS simulator succeeded to build and run via Xcode 12.3 on Intel mac
It seems we must specify sdk target in carthage build as well.

appletvos and appletvsimulator for tvOS.

removing tvOS and Mac stuff

This was because --platform iOS argument also built tvOS and Mac when I added SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS.

Probably I did not know well around this point...

Yeah, I confirmed this.
Simulators got this architectural issue on M1 macOS. Real devices had no issue. (expected)

[KazuCocoa]

Tried a bit.

--platform iOS seems it does not work with SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS. All schemes ran.
example:
./Scripts/carthage-wrapper.sh build --platform iOS --verbose built Mac and tvOS stuff.
https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent/compare/master...KazuCocoa:set-supported-platform?expand=1

Potentially, we should copy what carthage does in build.
But in this case, probably it is better to include libraries into this project to control build configuration only in this project...

[KazuCocoa]

Potentially #434 will fix this issue as well. Will test tomorrow

(This idea is the same as mine in the above comment, But in this case, probably it is better to include libraries into this project to control build configuration only in this project..., so this should work well.)

#434

Hi @KazuCocoa
Do you know if this fix is available in latest Appium Desktop / Appium projects? I am receiving same error message when trying iOS inspector.
