Hi,

My bet is that you are using xCode 6/IOS SDK 8.x.

If you are using a GA version of Appium (I.e. <= 1.2.3) it works on xcode 5.x IOS SQK 7.

I had the same problem, and downgrading to xCode 5.x solved the issue.

PS: Appium 1.3 will be working with IOS SDK 8.0, but it is still under beta.

I have deleted the Xcode 5.1, let me try downloading that 5.1.

But I am using iOS Deployement Target as “7.1” in build setting. Also my iphone has the same version as “7.1.2”

I have downgraded the Xcode and installed the safari Launcher.

My Code:

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
File app = new File("/Users/ebiztest/Documents/workspace/ControlCenter/iOSApplication/SafariLauncher.app");
/* Setup for Actual Device 8-29*/
capabilities.setCapability("browserName”,”safari”);
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName”,”iPhone”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”,“7.1”);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName”,”iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“udid”,“318757c0a61a166603b7bec5ad9c11cf5bdb1e57”;
capabilities.setCapability(“app”,app.getAbsolutePath());

Getting an error as :
