WebDriverAgent is a WebDriver server implementation for iOS that can be used to remotely control iOS devices. It allows you to launch and kill applications, tap and scroll views or confirm view presence on a screen.
For more information see Appium's documentation on real device configuration at appium/appium-xcuitest-driver.

Open Terminal, and run the following command and copy the output path.
echo "$(dirname "$(find "$HOME/.appium" -name WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj)")"
An example of the command output:
/Users/USER/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent -
Navigate to the output path. The easiest way is running the open command on Terminal adding the path as parameter.
