Getting this exception while starting tests. The Simulator starts and the app gets installed and invoked. Not able to figure out.
I used Appium 1.3.1 and also 1.3.4 both instances I ran into this. The App itself is built using iOS 8.1 sdk.
Does it need to be built with debug turned on? That is one thing I have not tried.
