Hi,
If we have an iOS app, it is a test build (enterprise build) deployed on Test Flight.
I can extract the .ipa after installing the app on the device and connecting it to iTunes.
And then I zip the .ipa file and unzip it, it shows .app file within the extracted folder of that app.
Can I use this .app file to run iOS appium scripts on simulator?
I tried doing it but it gave error -
error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Instruments crashed on startup
info: [debug] Error: Instruments crashed on startup
at Instruments.onInstrumentsExit (/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-instruments/lib/instruments.js:387:31)

Can someone please suggest some steps to launch this enterprise iOS test app on iOS simulator using appium ?
