Done with all signing process but still the issue happening
Console logs getting as

Could you post the capabilities that you are using?

caps.setCapability(“platformName”,“iOS”);
caps.setCapability(“platformNumber”,“15.0”);
caps.setCapability(“deviceName”,“iPhone 11”);
caps.setCapability(“automationName”,“XCUITest”);
caps.setCapability(“app”, “/Users/Download/*.app”);

Ok, so I’m reading that as the Simulator capabilities, and that you are more concerned with getting this working on Simulator. Please correct me if I’ve gotten that wrong.

I’m going to suggest that you try Appium v1.22.0. Release notes are here:

I’m making this suggestion specifically based on this part of the release notes:

iOS General
Xcode 13 and iOS 15 support

I hope this fixes your problem.
