Hi All,

I was running my selenium automation scripts on iPad Air using Appium server. The Appium version that i was using was “1.4.8”. Recent i got the latest update and upgraded appium to 1.4.13. After that when i try to run my automation scripts. i am getting the below exception.

info: [debug] [INST STDERR] 2015-12-14 11:21:43.802 instruments[15784:55472] Failed to start Instruments daemon on ‘SIT (9.2)’ (The service is invalid.)

info: [debug] [INST STDERR] Instruments Usage Error : Specified target process is invalid: com.bytearc.SafariLauncher
instruments, version 7.1 (59040)
usage: instruments [-t template] [-D document] [-l timeLimit] [-i #] [-w device] [[-p pid] | [application [-e variable value] [argument …]]]

I executed the command “reset.sh --real-safari” and still getting the same exception. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

The problem was with the XCode version that i was using. After upgrading iOS to 9.2 , i am suppose to use xcode 7.2 but i was using 7.1 which used to cause the problem of instrumentation. After upgrading it to latest XCode it works as expected.

Thanks.
