Hi,

I will highly appreciate if someone can help with this issue:
I have-
Appium V1.4.8
OSX 10.10.5
XCode V7.0.1.

I try to run the inspector with a simulator of iPhone 5, iOS V8.4 Appium client, but I get wired error:

At the request device there is no specific device, only the os of the device- > You requested ‘iPhone (8.4 Simulator)’

I try to find a solution for this, but I didn’t find one that work.
All simulators are installed, the simulator that open is iPhone 5, OS 8.4, but I still get this error.

Thanks!

Xcode 7 is not supported until Appium V1.4.11

3

Thanks for your respond!
I also tried Appium 1.4.13 version, but I get a instrument error. I tried all hacks that were mention in many disscussions I red but non of them success.
Do you know how to fix this?

4

Can you post the instruments error you are getting? I was speaking with someone else on here that had a similar issue. Appium may be looking at the wrong version of instruments, but I couldn’t tell without seeing the log.

When I lunch Appium server I get this error:

There is a solution here:
