I moved my tests device to iOS8 -> upgraded Xcode to Xcode6 , and all that was necessary.
Also downloaded the latest version Appium1.2.2. from https://bitbucket.org/appium/appium.app/downloads/

When I try to launch the app on the iOS8 device -> I keep getting this error:

info: [debug] Setting Xcode version

info: [debug] Setting iOS SDK Version

info: [debug] iOS SDK Version set to 8.0

info: [debug] Detecting automation tracetemplate

Hi,

Directory structure got changed in Xcode 6- work with ios8 branch of appium- it works there:

Best,
Shiran

P.S.
Don’t forget to compile app for ios8, mention version is 8.0 and use the “new” names of the devices

I am having the same problem. I am using OS X Version 10.9.5 and Appium version 1.2.2. I understand that the directory structure has changed, but I am not sure I follow what I need to do make it work in the meantime. Would you please explain a bit further? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

It is not the OSX version that matters, but the Xcode version (with it instruments gets upgraded).

If you have Xcode6, then you need to upgrade appium to 1.3 - because the simulators, installed by Xcode6 are different, the name of the simulators, the version of the simulators and also the location of the folders.

So- What you need to do is to upgrade your appium if you have Xcode 6.
