iOS Real App - start_driver is very slow

Issues/Bugs
1

The driver.start_driver function takes a very long time to run (about 45 seconds every time). The app appears on the iPad quickly, but there’s a long pause before the next command is run. Commands afterwards seem to happen fast.

Here’s my setup:

  • type of testing: real iOS device (iPad Pro)
  • test language: ruby
  • iOs version: 9.2
  • Xcode version: 7.2.1
  • appium version: 1.4.13

Any idea on what I can to do fix this or workaround?
