appium --version

2.0.0-beta.57

When I run the automation client is webdriverio  
I got this error  
Request failed with status 500 due to unknown error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not find a driver for automationName ‘XCUITest’ and platformName ‘iOS’. Have you installed a driver that supports those capabilities? Run ‘appium driver list --installed’ to see. (Lower-level error: Could not find installed driver to support given caps)

my desired cap in the wdio config is:

@Aleksei actually I realised it’s due to missing ios driver  
I installed it using this command  
appium driver install xcuitest

I am using appium2

appium --version  
2.0.0-beta.57
