Hi @Venkatesh

Get the appium source from github, go to terminal > navigate to ur cloned appium folder and run the command
./bin/ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js -cUDID -d
ios-webkit-debug-proxy-launcher.js takes care of the crashing issue.

Thanks,

Try installing ios-webkit-debug-proxy from brew.

Hi,

iOS-web-kit-debug-proxy connects and disconnects with rpc server immediately.
On running the Appium code on hybrid app, works well on native pages, but fails while switching to the web context.
Error Message on Appium log: Could not connect to WebKitRemoteDebugger server
Responding to client with error: {“status”:clock13:

This issue occurs both with iOS-web-kit-debug-proxy through appium/bin launcher and home-brew

Appium : 1.3.4
iOS device : 7.1
Xcode Version: 7.1
OSx Version: 10.10
