Issues/Bugs

Hello, colleagues!
I am using iPhone 5s (iOS 9.3.2). Enable UI Automation on device. As for computer - OSX Sierra 10.12.2, Xcode 7.1.3, Appium v1.6.0-beta3.
Install/uninstall works by appium, but as for launch ipa, displayed error:

Could you help me resolved this issue, please

My first guess would be around the capabilities you are using based on this line:

[debug] [Instruments] [INST STDERR] Instruments Usage Error: Specified target process is invalid: com.waverleysoftware.matrix

If you can post the capabilities of your Appium Server, it might provide additional information.

In your capabilities if you want to execute web tests, your browserName capability needs be set to “Safari” (for iOS), it is currently your UDID. If you are using iOS 9.X and XCode 7.x you will most likely need to use Safari-Launcher and ios-web-kit-debug-proxy to make your tests work.

If you want to launch an app, remove the browserName capability. If you are using iOS 9.X and XCode 7.x you will most likely need to use ios-webkit-debug-proxy.

I use only native app, and don’t need web version and it is for identification node only

6

A couple of ideas, try removing the browserName capability and make sure the ios-webkit-debug-proxy is running.

Also try running with just a platformVersion of 9.3

I try to delete it, but nothing happened ((
