I am trying to Automate ios app using Appium 5.1.3 . I am having xcode 8.2 . Everytime I run my java code I gett the error -

Exception in thread “main” org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command.

Also when I try following command on terminal-
ideviceinstaller -u dea1eeecfba536a2a929ba1b11f7825b1da8c4f4 -i /Users/abc/Desktop/Payload/mobilebanking.app

I get the following error–

Appium 1.5.3 does not support Xcode 8. Update to Appium 1.6.

It may be because of invalid provisioning profiles. Check the below stackoverflow link:

But I what about the error shown by ideviceinstaller. I have done provisioning profile for the application. It was working fine. But recently I updated my Mac OS, iPad OS and Appium version and this problem started.

I have done provisioning profile for the application. It was working fine. But recently I updated my Mac OS, iPad OS and Appium version and this problem started. Is this problem because of updating the OS for Mac and my iPad

My approach has always been to tackle one problem at a time. With the earlier version of Appium, you probably have an earlier version of ideviceinstaller. Why not make it easy on yourself and fix the Appium problem first, then see if ideviceinstaller is still a problem.

I can tell you that if you fix the ideviceinstaller problem without fixing the Appium problem this will still not work.
