    You will face this issue on MAC because WDA present inside Appium is not compatible with your XCode 14.2. When you install Appium, it is equipped with latest WDA at the time of released version for example appium 1.22.3 will come with WebdriverAgent 3.17.0

    You can try installing latest WDA using this command

    npm install -g appium-webdriveragent

    Start webdriver agent using XCodeBuild. Hit this command to do the same

    xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj 
           -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner 
           -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=<device_name>' 
           test

    Here device_name is your device name for example iPhone XR
    Start appium using command appium
