@Aleksei,
I am building my framework but I am unable to start my simulator with the code I wrote. when I put the code in a separate class outside my appiumproject. the code starts the simulator. But inside my configuration class, it does not work. Below is my complete code. kindly help review it. thanks. the code is
public static void startSimulator() throws IOException, InterruptedException
{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“xcrun simctl boot 446B22A4-870D-4BCF-A0FB-169C367762AE”);
Thread.sleep(8000);
}

Below is my complete config file

if you start simulator manually - does the test work?

Yes, The test work if I start simulator manually,

did not use loooong time to start simulators from test code. used to work with real devices.
indeed when we start simulator using xcrun simctl boot xxx visually it does not start.
but! xcrun simctl list shows it state as BOOTED.
it looks like need:
exec open Simulator.app to launch the foreground GUI -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55229759/ios-simulators-boot-but-dont-appear-with-xcrun-simctl-boot-uuid

I have also tried it. it does not launch the foreground GUI. Its okay, thank you for your time.
