App paths need to be absolute, or relative to the appium server install dir, or a URL to compressed file, or a special app name

I’m using Appium Desktop 1.7.0 and I can’t seem to get the right path. I compiled the iOS app on a simulator, and then I go to the app’s bin/release folder to get the .iOS app but it gives me the error. Then I create the path to go to the actual iPhone simulator’s path to find the app and it still gives me the error.

My JSON
{
“platformName”: “iOS”,
“platformVersion”: “11.4”,
“deviceName”: “iPhone Simulator”,
“automationName”: “XCUITest”,
“app”: “~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/99C9B21A-5D11-47DF-AA60-1CA9F212D1C1/data/Containers/Data/Application/A15D0561-D55F-49E2-8C17-184DC441AEAC/MyApp.IOS”
}`

I may be wrong, but i think you have to specify the .app path at the ‘app’ property.
The device name will be responsible to bring your ios simulator online, in that case de device name may be incomplete, because doesnt have the iphone version.
