@maharaja-m Could you share the command you have used to build your app and along with the integration test file?

[maharaja-m]

build command - flutter build ios integration_test/integration_test.dart --simulator

integration_test.dart

import "package:appium_flutter_server/appium_flutter_server.dart";
import "package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart";
import "package:lead_manager/main.dart" as app;

void main() {

initializeTest(
callback: (WidgetTester tester) async => app.main(),
);
}

[sudharsan-selvaraj]

Can you update the intergration_test.dart with below code

import "package:appium_flutter_server/appium_flutter_server.dart";
import "package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart";
import "package:lead_manager/main.dart" as app;


void main() {
  initializeTest(
    callback: (WidgetTester tester) async {
       await tester.pumpWidget(const app.main());
    },
  );
}

Yes I get this log Could not register as server for FlutterDartVMServicePublisher, permission denied. Check your 'Local Network' permissions for this app in the Privacy section of the system Settings.

@maharaja-m I guess there is an open issue with the latest Mac OS. There is an open ticket with Apple which you can track here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/780655. Here is another ticket: flutter/flutter#166333 where this has been reported. The only solution is to downgrade to a lower version of Mac OS.. then it works, else we have to wait for Apple to provide a fix at the earliest.
