Original error: socket hang up in between the test (Appium)

Question

I am running automation on my iPhone 14 with ios version 16.5.1. I am using Appium 2.0 version 2.0.0-rc.5 . I am trying to automate disabling Airplane mode and enabling mobile data.

Whenever I am changing the Airplane mode or mobile data, appium driver is quitting. Logs for the same are here - [Xcode]

 Responding to client with driver.createSession() result: {"capabilities":{"webStorageEnabled":false,"locationContextEnabled":false,"browserName":"","platform":"MAC","javascriptEnabled":true,"databaseEnabled":false,"takesScreenshot":true,"networkConnectionEnabled":false,"platformName":"iOS","platformVersion":"16.5.1","deviceName":"iPhone 14","automationName":"XCUITest","bundleId":"com.apple.Preferences","udid":"00008110-00121CDE0E81401E","wdaConnectionTimeout":600000,"xcodeSigningId":"iPhone Developer","includeSafariInWebviews":true,"newCommandTimeout":3600,"connectHardwareKeyboard":true}}

I tried to initialize the driver in Airplane mode on state, but changing the state of airplane mode somehow forced the driver to quit. A similar thing is happening with Mobile Networks too.

In general, there are two process runs when the test is running:-

1. One specific to Appium &
2. One webdriverAgent process.

So for my case it looks like this -

33798 ?? 0:02.45 /opt/homebrew/bin/node /opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js --address 127.0.0.1 -p 4724

33917 ?? 0:01.64 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild build-for-testing test-without-building -project /Users/test_user/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent/WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination id=00008110-00121CDE0E81401E IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=16.5 GCC_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS=0 COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE=NO

Now after changing Airplane mode or Mobile data status, the second process which is basically the webdriverAgent process is terminating here, which basically stops the test from running properly.

What should I do to stop this from happening?
