A service failed in the 'onPrepare' hook

I am running Android app test cases using Appium and WebDriverIO. I am encountering the following error:

    }
};

After receiving this error, the test case runs completely fine. I don’t understand why it’s being displayed as an error instead of just info.
Error: info at Socket.<anonymous>

Can someone help me resolve this error?

More information:
This only happened the first time after installing the project, when I tried it again it worked fine.
