I am trying to invoke Simulator from Eclips ..i gave valid capabalities Appium server is running on Same server and port

I am not sure we use different configuration in iOS, but in general we use http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub to represent local host with port number(4723).

Can you try with the above same localhost URL with port number.

Anybody can correct me if i am wrong.

I tried with127.0.0.1: 4723 …and also changed device name to simulator .tried with different parameters .thats not helped me i don’t know were i am doing mistake.

Can you try removing .zip from app path.

Also, verify the appium server address and port number. Just launch appium server, and first few lines of log should display this info for you. Something like below -

Hi @sree,

Have you started the appium server either using appium GUI or though command prompt. Please check are you running any process on 4723.

Hi @sree

Please confirm that you’ve launched appium server from GUI or terminal. If so,

The URL u’ve provided seems to be wrong. The url should be –

http://0.0.0.0:4723/wd/hub - if you’ve launched the appium server from terminal

After changing to http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub : now i see below error
