ld: cannot link directly with dylib/framework, your binary is not an allowed client of /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XCTAutomationSupport.framework/XCTAutomationSuppor

I ran into the same issue and really don't know what it means and where to search, hopefully someone can help to resolve this. I've tried several answers i found i.e. Excluded Architectures of arm64 and set Build Active Architecture Only to No but unfortunately no luck.

MacBook Pro 2019 on iPhone 13 iOS 16.0 (20A5339d) / XCode 14.0 beta 5 (14A5294e) With Xcode 13.4.1 on iPhone 13 iOS 15.5 everything worked well.

Hi, I'm also having the same issue. Did you find any solutions?

Hi All,

i faced the above issue as well. i overcome the above issue by downloading and installing the XCode version 13.4.1 from the following site.

How to download Xcode DMG or XIP file? - Stack Overflow

I installed 13.4.1 from App store earlier and when i upgraded to 14 it doesn't work.

I installed 13.4.1 from the above link and it works fine. Hope this helps all.

The issue has been fixed on my side by upgrading WebDriverAgent to the latest version
