Appium couldn't connect to my real device IOS

emna_ayadi · January 13, 2016, 4:18pm

I put the link of my app in ios settings and bundle id + udid,
I got the following error in appium while i try to connect my ios device to Mac.

PS: it works fine with Android.

According to log you don’t have libimobiledevice installed.
To install run below in terminal(assuming you have homebrew installed)
brew install libimobiledevice

emna_ayadi · January 18, 2016, 8:11am

when i tap : brew install libimobiledevice ==> brew: command not found
i tap : ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)” < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
in order to install the brew command first of all

pr4bh4sh · January 18, 2016, 8:17am

Do you mean you are not able to install brew on your machine???

emna_ayadi · January 18, 2016, 8:19am

emna_ayadi · January 18, 2016, 8:45am

Please post the server logs.
Are you sure that you are using real device’s UDID, from screen shot it looks like you have provided the UDID of a sim, UDID of real device does not have dashes with them.

emna_ayadi · January 18, 2016, 11:41am

It was just because i test with both simulator and real device and both are not working
Here is my log file :

error: Could not pre-launch appium: Error: Instruments crashed on startup

Just to understand the situation better:

Have you ever successfully pre-launched an .iOS application before?
From the screen shot’s i am assuming that you have built the application locally on your machine. If that correct make sure that you are pointing to the debug version of the application. If you are trying to pre launch the application in simulator then select the *.app file other wise *.ipa file.
Make sure that you have enabled UIAutomation from settings(in case of real device).

Thanks for your help, sorry if i’m beginner with those tools

From appium i have never pre-lauch an ios application. This is my first try with IOS. in Android it works fine with Appium.
Yes the developer provide me a build with developer version (it’s a local app)
I didn’t enable UIAutomation in real device, but in both real & simulator it isn’t working

So, if ur app is debug with same provisioning profile as yours and ur UIAutomation enabled must be in place then and only then u can run.

@Priyank_Shah Now this error is maintained : Instruments crashed on startup.
When i create an new project with xcode then i generate .app file it is working fine i can see the inspector and record my test cases.
But my problem when i use an application already developped and the build is coming from a developer profile i can’t open inspector and instruments crashed on startup.
