Try giving the UDID in capabilities

[If you are still searching for the solution]
I’ve had this issue and found out both on Appium GUI and CLI what I was doing wrong.
Launch the simulator and check which iOS version are they. For me it wasn’t the same - as in on my Capability (platformVersion) I was saying (e.g.) 10.x, whereas my actual simulator was 10.y.

Just changing your platformVersion to match your simulator’s iOS version should do the trick.

When you are using Appium 1.6 beta you need to give the UDID of device …

I am setting up appium with real device.Iphone 6s
As mentioned in the earlier feedbacks, I have udid and platform version in my code.Still I receive error.
I attached by appium server logs and code

Can someone please help me out…

[XCUITest] Error: Sdk ‘10.1.1’ was not in list of simctl sdks

Go into Xcode and:
Open Window->Devices
On the bottom left, click the ‘+’ sign
You’ll see a new dialog with the title, ‘Create a new simulator’.
Click on ‘OS Version’, and it will show the SDK’s installed. At the bottom of the list is ‘Download more simulator runtimes…’, click this.
You’ll want to add the 10.1 simulator.

Even though you are using a real device, I think it needs this SDK to work properly.

Thanks for your reply guys.When I start appium server in cmd prompt … I did not pass UDID ,hence I received the error.Issue is sorted now.

Make Sure You have given UDID in devices capabilities.
