Basic Automatic Configuration

If you have a paid Apple Developer account, the easiest way to create the provisioning profile is to use the automatic configuration strategy. There are two ways to do this:

• Use the xcodeOrgId and xcodeSigningId capabilities:

  {
    "appium:xcodeOrgId": "<Team ID>",
    "appium:xcodeSigningId": "Apple Developer"
  }
  

• Create a .xcconfig file somewhere on your file system and add the following to it:

  DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = <Team ID>
  CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = Apple Developer
  

  Then use the xcodeConfigFile capability to specify the path to this file:

  {
    "appium:xcodeConfigFile": "/path/to/xcconfig/file"
  }
  

Note that these are mutually exclusive strategies; use either the xcodeConfigFile capability or the combination of xcodeOrgId and xcodeSigningId.

• xcodeOrgId / DEVELOPMENT_TEAM is a unique 10-character string generated by Apple that is assigned to your team.
  • To find this string (your Team ID), sign in to developer.apple.com/account, and click Membership in the sidebar. Your Team ID appears in the Membership Information section under the team name. You can also find your Team ID listed under the "Organizational Unit" field in your iPhone Developer certificate in your keychain.
• xcodeSigningId / CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY is usually either Apple Developer or iPhone Developer.

Once this configuration is done, you should specify your real device UDID with the udid desired capability, after which you should be able to start your test. Proceed with Validating the WDA Install for the next steps.
