Hi, i am new user to Appium.
I am trying to launch Safari Launcher App on Real ios device for automating a few test cases on Safari browser. And am using Python web client as my web server.
I am facing two problems :
- If I try to launch the app using the path of the IPA file . i get the following error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "myTests.py", line 22, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Remote('http://localhost:4723/wd/hub', desired_caps)

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Bad app: /Users/hcltech/Desktop/SafariLauncher/SafariLauncher.ipa . App paths need to be absolute, or relative to the appium server install dir, or a URL to compressed file, or a special app name.
- Next I tried using bundleId. But here also I face a different issue :

The app Safari Launcher gets installed and launched fine on my iPhone device if I do a build from XCode. But using the IPA file through Appium, I face these issues. I have tried using both .IPA file and .APP file.
Below is the code for my Python web client capabilities :
desired_caps={}
desired_caps = {}
desired_caps['platformName'] = 'iOS'
desired_caps['platformVersion'] = '9.2.1'
desired_caps['deviceName'] = 'iPhone Device'
desired_caps['bundleId'] = 'amc.bundle'
desired_caps['udid'] = '6d5475f7601ccecc10edf30e89acd228a4f5b3cf'
I have also tried different other options, like the following :
#desired_caps['app'] = PATH('/Users/hcltech/Desktop/some.ipa')
#desired_caps['app'] = "/Users/hcltech/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SafariLauncher-dunhycrvqbkxawdlkvctndbcluut/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/SafariLauncher.app"
#desired_caps['app'] = 'Users/hcltech/Desktop/SafariLauncher.app'
#desired_caps['app'] = "/Users/hcltech/Desktop/SafariLauncher/SafariLauncher.ipa"
Nothing works !!! Help !!!
