I’m tring to run appium tests on real device, but it fails at this step:

What am i missing? I did install ideviceinstaller manually. I’m using Xcode: 7.2, Appium: 1.3.13, iPhone: 5s, 6 , iOS 9.0

I saw other people have reported similar issues, but did not see any solution so far.

It would be great to hear any pointers to get this problem solved.
