Same error while running Appium Inspector Also

It is not able to detect the app file is installed or not.

app is already install on the device. It is working fine with instrument.

6

How about the UDID which was used in appium setting?

7

Its correct . Now its working after running the below command
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/db/lockdown/
