I solved this problem by specifying PLATFORM_VERSION when I set my desired capabilities. To know what platform version your virtual device is running you can use this command: xcodebuild -showsdks
I started having this problem right after upgrading my Appium Desktop version. Not sure if it’s related, but timing was suspicious.
