Make sure the correct deployment target has been selected for its compilation in Xcode.

  1. Did you complete any way of prepare appium for real ios ?
  2. I do not see developer id in capabilities…

Are you trying to test an app built for a real device on Simulator? This won’t work

You need to give the capability: “appium:udid”: “<udid>” for a real device.

Easiest built in way to get udid is from command line: xcrun xctrace list devices. Even easier if installed is idevice_id

I got this error now:

yes I want to run the app (ipa) in real device.

I have updated the desire capabilities to
{
“platformName”: “iOS”,
“appium:deviceName”: “iPhone 6s”,
“appium:app”: “/Users/laymui/dev/taiger/react-native-stock-price-app/tests/apps/stockprice.ipa”,
“appium:automationName”: “XCUITest”,
“appium:udid”: “a12510a8c8ec79876d8e10f38da17fb97dc720c3”,
“appium:bundleId”: “com.app.laymui.stockprice”,
“appium:xcodeOrgId”: “LayMui Toh”,
“appium:xcodeSigningId”: “iPhone Developer”
}

I am able to build and run the ipa from xcode on the real devices

but not able to use the appium inspector on the real device
