Hi Appium Folks,
I am experiencing problem with setup of Appium inspector on real device. Here are my environment details:
Desktop: Mac 10.11.1 , Xcode: 7.0.1
Device: iPad Air 9.1
The app was developed under Enterprise developer account (you need to trust a profile in the setting to be able to run it on real device when installing via .IPA file)
Appium GUI: Version 1.4.13
Here are Appium Inspector settings:
When I try to run Appium Inspector on Attached device, it shows this error and this output
Launching Appium with command: ‘/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node’ lib/server/main.js --session-override --log-no-colors --debug-log-spacing --platform-version “9.1” --platform-name “iOS” --app “/AutoTest/TestGo.ipa” --udid “70088e41c4b937a14f531369282f69838556c1ee1” --backend-retries “5” --device-name “iPad Air” --native-instruments-lib
