Appium appends a (Simulator) at the end of iOS device name

Support
1

I am trying to run a TestNG test on a physical iOS device. The test is setting up the device name “iPhone-JonSnow” and adds the iOS version and the word “Simulator” to it at the end.
This all works fine if I am running the test on a simulator. But if I specify the real device, it still thinks that I am running it on a simulator and appends the wrong name at the end. Any help?

Here’s a console log:

error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Could not find a device to launch. You requested 'iPhone-JonSnow (8.1.3 Simulator)', but the available devices were: ["iPhone-JonSnow (8.1.3) [78b2f5eb860b2a061d4db14117d57607d19414e7]","iPad 2 (7.1 Simulator) [E4D577C5-AD4C-4C7E-BE6F-4CDB956A80B0]", ( ... )

I’m getting the exact same issue. It is appending ‘Simulator’ to the real device name.
