I’ve downloaded latest gui ver (1.5.3 Ara) but nothing really happens once I launch the service

```
Launching Appium with command: '/Applications/Appium 2.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node' appium/build/lib/main.js --address "127.0.0.1" --port "4725" --pre-launch --debug-log-spacing --log "/tmp/appium.log" --platform-version "9.3" --platform-name "iOS" --app "/Users/ie54553/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/CitiVelocity-bamwnmicbktvttdalizirvbwkvdr/Build/Products/Debug_AUTOMATION-iphonesimulator/CitiVelocity.app" --no-reset --device-name "iPhone 6s" --launch-timeout "30000" --native-instruments-lib
