Environment:
Appium 1.3.5 npm, iPad Retina (8.1.3) or iPhone 6 (8.1.2), Mac OS 10.10.2, Xcode 6.1.1
I have a situation where a colleague can install and launch the same .ipa that fails for me. I have compared our server logs and the difference is that it appears the installation is not even attempted on my machine. Observations:
-
Using the Appium version of fruitstrap will successfully install the app, so it’s not a code-signing issue.
-
Fruitstrap crashes when running the isInstalled check (for my colleague as well.) The only diagnostics is this: Assertion failed: (false), function checkAppExists, file fruitstrap.c, line 320.
-
I have uninstalled and re-installed Appium. I have also re-installed XCode from the App store instead of from the developer portal, just as my colleague did. (The XCode install from the portal was causing all sorts of other issues, fwiw.)
-
The command-line server and Appium.app produce the same results.
-
When I build our app for the simulator, it installs and launches fine.
-
If I install the .ipa manually (fruitstrap or iTunes), I can use Appium to launch the test fine. Only the installation fails.
-
The device is registered, UI Automation is enabled, the certs and profiles are good.
Here’s the log:

At this point, my colleague’s server log spews a whole bunch of info from the target device. Example:
