The simulator launch is failing

menypeled · November 9, 2017, 9:26pm

I am trying to run iOS app on a simulator.

I have added the simulator udid & the device name to the capabilities however after the app & the wda were installed the app fails to launch.

Should I do anything else in order for it to be launch successfully?

Do notice that on regular device it works fine.

Any help will be most appreciated.

Are you able to launch /Users/menypeled/Documents/workspace/iOS_Appium/SkyGiraffe_5.12.3.app from XCode into the iPhone8 simulator ?

menypeled · November 12, 2017, 2:17pm

Yes.

From Xcode I can build it into the xcoode & it is installed & can be lunched successfully.

I have Tried to build the .app file from xcode by choosing the 3 options (Testing, Running & profiling) But the issue remains.
This is desired capabilities:

Does it look OK? Are there any special preconditions I am missing for simulator?
capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,genMeth.getValueFromPropFile(“deviceName”));

	capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion","11.1");
	capabilities.setCapability("clearSystemFiles","true");
	capabilities.setCapability("app",genMeth.getValueFromPropFile("appPath"));
	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME,AutomationName.IOS_XCUI_TEST);
	capabilities.setCapability("xcodeOrgId", "7Y5J2RJXYV");
	capabilities.setCapability("xcodeSigningId", "iPhone Developer");
	capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME,"iOS");
	capabilities.setCapability("useNewWDA", "false");
	capabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 45);

When running our code the following occurs (see below log):

It seems that the WDA & our app is installed successfully on the simulator however after that nothing is written to the log & it seems like nothing is sent to the appium server anymore.
So the app fails to lunch & nothing happens.

Opened a bug:

Simulator fails to launch #9633

Thre was no issue,

The problem was that when we signed the app that we are testing we didn’t choose in the xcode the specific simulator.
Once we signed it properly for that simulator, it worked fine.
