Timeout Error while creating session

Hi Team,

I am facing below issue while running my test on mac-mini device for IOS simulator.
[0-0] 2022-05-29T18:48:13.318Z WARN @wdio/utils:shim: You are running tests with @wdio/sync which will be discontinued starting Node.js v16.Read more on https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/discussions/6702RROR webdriver: Request failed with status undefined due to TimeoutError: Timeout awaiting 'request' for 120000ms when running "http://localhost:4723/session" with method "POST" and args "{"capabilities":{"alwaysMatch":{"platformName":"iOS","noReset":false,"fullReset":true,"automationName":"XCUITest","deviceName":"iPhone 13","platformVersion":"15.4","app":"/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-edaimyiflreloheqntgnhkmwcclv/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Runner.app","appWaitDuration":20000,"newCommandTimeout":90000,"webviewConnectTimeout":20000,"fullContextList":true,"autoAcceptAlerts":true,"chromedriverExecutable":"","chromeOptions":{"w3c":false,"args":["--disable-popup-blocking"]}},"firstMatch":[{}]},"desiredCapabilities":{"platformName":"iOS","noReset":false,"fullReset":true,"automationName":"XCUITest","deviceName":"iPhone 13","platformVersion":"15.4","app":"/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Runner-edaimyiflreloheqntgnhkmwcclv/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Runner.app","appWaitDuration":20000,"newCommandTimeout":90000,"webviewConnectTimeout":20000,"fullContextList":true,"autoAcceptAlerts":true,"chromedriverExecutable":"","chromeOptions":{"w3c":false,"args":["--disable-popup-blocking"]}}}"

If I run same test on mac-pro, it is working perfectly.
The difference I am seeing:
Mac-Mini- Runner.app is getting installed correctly but it is not launching due to above mentioned error.
Mac-Pro- Runner.app is getting installed but it has the different app name instead of “Runner” + I see “Webdriver Agent” is also get installed in my simulator + app is launching correctly + my tests are passing.

My IOS config for the same is:

import config  from './wdio.conf';
import PlatformInfo from './platform.info';

// Appium capabilities
config.capabilities = [

    //
    // WebdriverIO allows it to run your tests in arbitrary locations (e.g. locally or
    // on a remote machine).
    runner: 'local',
    //
    // ==================
    // Specify Test Files
    // ==================
    // Define which test specs should run. The pattern is relative to the directory
    // from which `wdio` was called.
    //
    // The specs are defined as an array of spec files (optionally using wildcards
    // that will be expanded). The test for each spec file will be run in a separate
    // worker process. In order to have a group of spec files run in the same worker
    // process simply enclose them in an array within the specs array.
    //
    // If you are calling `wdio` from an NPM script (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script),
    // then the current working directory is where your `package.json` resides, so `wdio`
    // will be called from there.
    //

        // 'path/to/excluded/files'
    ],
    //
    // ============
    // Capabilities
    // ============
    // Define your capabilities here. WebdriverIO can run multiple capabilities at the same
    // time. Depending on the number of capabilities, WebdriverIO launches several test
    // sessions. Within your capabilities you can overwrite the spec and exclude options in
    // order to group specific specs to a specific capability.
    //
    // First, you can define how many instances should be started at the same time. Let's
    // say you have 3 different capabilities (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and you have
    // set maxInstances to 1; wdio will spawn 3 processes. Therefore, if you have 10 spec
    // files and you set maxInstances to 10, all spec files will get tested at the same time
    // and 30 processes will get spawned. The property handles how many capabilities
    // from the same test should run tests.
    //
    maxInstances: 10,
