Could not launch the iOS app due to Error: spawn appium --base-path /wd/hub ENOENT

Hi,

I am trying to launch the iOS demo app on visual studio with wdio always getting below error.

Error on terminal –

appium Version - 2.4.1
appium-doctor version - 1.16.2
node version - v20.11.0

config.capabilities = [
{
// The defaults you need to have in your config
platformName: ‘ios’,
maxInstances: 1,
‘appium:deviceName’: ‘iPhone 15 Pro’,
‘appium:platformVersion’: ‘17.0’,
‘appium:automationName’: ‘XCUITest’,
“appium:udid”: ‘C4002DAF-B1E6-4EF8-98CC-4636A732EDE6’,
// The path to the app
‘appium:app’: join(process.cwd(), ‘apps/wdiodemoapp.app’),
// @ts-ignore

‘appium:xcodeSigningId’:‘Apple Development’,
‘appium:noReset’: true,
‘appium:newCommandTimeout’: 240,
},

config.services = (config.services ? config.services : []).concat([
[
‘appium’,
{
// This will use the globally installed version of Appium
command: ‘appium --base-path /wd/hub’,
path : ‘/’,
args: {
// This is needed to tell Appium that we can execute local ADB commands
// and to automatically download the latest version of ChromeDriver
relaxedSecurity: true,
},
},
],
]);
//
// =====================
// Server Configurations

//
config.port = 4723;

Package.json –

two times base-path?
