An unknown server side error

Could not initialize ideviceinstaller; make sure it is installed and works on your system

That one seems the real root cause.

And I guess you got below from IDE console output or Jenkins.

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.

Please refer my answer here. Hopefully it helps you.

Error: Could not initialize ideviceinstaller; make sure it is installed and works on your system

Hi TuHuynh, This steps help me to solve the problem. I was really stuck for the problem from last couple of days. Had tried all the options of uninstalling/installing, upgrading/downgrading the appium, ideviceinstaller. But nothing was working. Thanks much again.
