Appium test script failure due to driver issues

Issues/Bugs
1

I am trying to test an automation framework that is developed on eclipse with grade extension and cucumber interface. When I attempt to launch an app using the automation script I get the error below. The app was just a demo iOS app I developed using Xcode 7.3 all it does on launch is display a label and is just to test that the framework works for iOS. My appium capabilities are set as below:

             DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
	capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "ios");
	capabilities.setCapability("command-timeout", 300);
	capabilities.setCapability("app", Settings.applicationUrl);
	capabilities.setCapability("bundleId", Settings.bundleID);
	capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.VERSION, "9.3");
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone");    
	capabilities.setCapability("udid", "20ac3132c738d827e6466bb889ad87a61aa20cf4");

Error message:

In case anyone is wondering the issue was due to isAppInstalled method failing for iOS automation.
