Have you tried installing ideviceinstaller?
Yes ideviceinstaller is installed.
Please refer
ideviceinstaller: “Could not initialize ideviceinstaller” #4584
Please try below steps and see what happens.
Just a workaround for those who need it when facing same issue.
-
Open terminal from your Mac and enter the command:
printf “%s\n” $PATH
–>The purpose is to print the current setting for you Mac’s path -
Get the value from the Terminal out put. In my case was:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin -
Right click on the execution.java file in Eclipse then choose [Run Configuration]
-
Click to tab [Environment] then click on [New]
- Name: PATH
- Value: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
-
Apply then run
I went back and read the OP, but I’m not seeing that they are using Eclipse. Hopefully they are because your solution is a good one in that case.
Thanks!
What do you mean execution.java file?
@menypeled
I used java so I just wrote it down as an example.
In your case, it will be the file that contains the code to start Appium Server as you mentioned “however when we try to run it via code it fails”
We are running the tests via TestNG (Via XMl file).
I tried the suggested configuration however it didn’t work…
@menypeled
It’s not related to the framework that you are using.
Could you possibly tell me the value after you [quote=“menypeled, post:9, topic:11699”]
printf “%s\n” $PATH
[/quote] in you mac’s terminal?
If you’re running the code from IDE, so which IDE that you are using? Eclipse…?
We are using eclipse.
Path:
/Users/sgmacbookpro/apache-maven-3.3.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
@menypeled
Can you open terminal and enter: find / -name ideviceinstaller
Please give me the terminal output.

Before run, could you possibly restart the IDE? Give a try.
Restart the IDE? Do you mean close & reopen the Eclipse?
If so same input.
- Running via terminal/GUI: OK
- Running via code: Facing issue
In this case I just think the issue came from ideviceinstaller path. Somehow the IDE which perform the code didn’t has the right path value.
Sorry buddy. I have no idea anymore…
Some good info here on setting environment variables in Eclipse:
Hi TuHuynh,
This steps help me to solve the problem. I was really stuck for the problem from last couple of days. Had tried all the options of uninstalling/installing, upgrading/downgrading the appium, ideviceinstaller. But nothing was working. Thanks much again.
Wow. Happy when hearing that man!
Hi Lalit_garg,
You r using eclipse???
You’re great! I get the runtime and log the environment path to find out it doesn’t contain /usr/local/bin. Since the ideviceinstaller’s path is /usr/local/bin/ideviceinstaller, it will surely fail if installing and initialing the app under eclipse
