I am new at this whole automated testing thing, and I picked up the Appium Desktop 1.0.0 beta to try and get started. I downloaded the development .IPA file, got the desired capabilities configured as needed, and launched!
The iPhone simulator loads, the .IPA installs, the WebDriverAgent application installs. WDA launches, then the app launches, and instantly returns right back to the iPhone home screen.

I feel like the key line in the error log is: [JSONWP Proxy] Got response with status 200: {"value":"Failed to launch com.XXXXX.XXXXX application","sessionId":"B645F39E-D3D6-4580-9064-87AE20A3DC26","status":13} – but I can’t make heads or tails of what this means.
