I keep getting this when I try to launch my appium server while trying to run my tests on an iPhone 6+ Thoughts??

Launching Appium with command: ‘/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node’ lib/server/main.js --port “27753” --command-timeout “7200” --session-override --pre-launch --debug-log-spacing --platform-version “8.3” --platform-name “iOS” --app “com.sqor.mobile.dev” --udid “4cfe4eb56af598cb0e4b2efb64986320a233c747” --full-reset --show-ios-log --show-ios-log --default-device

the UDID, BundleID, platformVersion, deviceName, and platformName are all correct.

Edit: I don’t think my answer was correct. I will try to help though.

Have you tried putting the path to the .ipa file instead of the BundleID for the --app flag? That’s what I’d try first.

I turned off the bundleId option in the Appium GUI, and pressed Launch, got this in the logs…

It looks like there is a problem with the way the app was signed by the certificate. I did a quick google search & found this: https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/52738-apple-frustration-no-code-signature-found/

There is probably more out there.

Thank you. My lead iOS developer and I are investigating possible issues with the build. He assures me that the version I have has the correct certificate signed and such. Very frustrating. I am able to run tests using the iOS Simulator no problem. Just getting the real device set up has been super tough

Try installing the ipa using xcode manually and then launching Appium inspector. (Ensure Appium ios settings to same version\build of the ipa). I had issue where Appium was not able to install the app on real device, but once I installed through xcode instrumentation, inspector was launched successfully. Helped me to get the tests ready.

When you say install the app, do you mean directly install it onto the device through xcode?

Yes. dragging and dropping from your mac to the device listed in xcode
