Xcode – Appium iOS Do I need to trust WebDriverAgentRunner everytime I run Appium?

so I have a free developer account and I’m not sure if that makes any difference. But right now, I have to trust myself as a developer every time I execute Appium on my iPhone for WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner in the Device management settings. Is there anyway around this? Perhaps this is the difference between a free and paid developer membership?

Thank you.

    Try to follow full manual configuration steps as given below if you are using free developer account.

    1. Add your Apple ID to XCode and download the certificate

    2. Find WebDriverAgent project,
      here i have given path for both Appium CLI as well as Appium Desktop you can use either path to configure the wda.
      In terminal, execute command:

      $ where appium or which Appium
/path/where/installed/bin/appium

Eg: WebDriverAgent project path for
Appium CLI:
/path/where/installed/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent
Appium Desktop:
/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent

    3. Navigate to WebDriverAgent project path in terminal and run below command to setup the project

      mkdir -p Resources/WebDriverAgent.bundle
    ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh -d

    4. Open WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj in Xcode. For both the WebDriverAgentLib and WebDriverAgentRunner targets, select "Automatically manage signing" in the "General" tab, and then select your Development Team. This should also auto select Signing Certificate.

    5. Manually change the bundle id for the target by going into the "Build Settings" tab, and changing the "Product Bundle Identifier" from com.facebook.WebDriverAgentRunner to
      something that Xcode will accept (something really unique!)

    6. Command to build the project:

      xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination 'id=<udid>' test

    7. Above command should install WDA on the given UDID of the device. Now manually go to setting and trust the WDA

    8. Now try to again build the project with allowProvisioningUpdates flag:

      xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination 'id=<udid>' test -allowProvisioningUpdates

    9. Create session with app using Appium Inspector pointing to CLI server
