I have the same issue. Are you guys also on M1+ Macs?

I can only login when not running in headless, but upon person.scrape() I get the above issue.

None of my debugging attempts worked, eg:

# 5. Custom wait and scrape function
def custom_scrape(linkedin_url):
    driver.get(linkedin_url)
    # Wait for a common element that should be present on all profiles
    WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CLASS_NAME, "pv-top-card"))
    )
    person = Person(linkedin_url, driver=driver, scrape=False)
    person.scrape()
    return person


# 6. Use the custom scrape function
profile_url = "https://www.linkedin.com/in/andre-iguodala-65b48ab5"
person = custom_scrape(profile_url)

if person:
    print(f"Name: {person.name}")
    print(f"About: {person.about}")
    print(f"Experiences: {person.experiences}")
    # ... print other attributes as needed

Any guidance @joeyism ?

I too got the same issue on my Mac M3.
While the application was running before TimeoutError, I noticed the the application opening up a chrome window, where all the automation of filling in the username and password(which we have provided) was going on.
After that, linkedin now uses a notification system on your mobile to verify user login. I accepted and gave permission for the same.
After that, It was able to see linkedin data and Hence, this TimeoutError went away.
Also, after you verify your login, It works forever afterwards.
PS: Headless option was disabled while i tested this

Hopefully this would solve your problems.
