Unable to install ios app on real device

Support
1

Hi,

I’m trying install and run automated test cases on real device, but i can not install the app and the log Appium shows fails.

I have a Capitan OS of MAC and Appium version 1.5.3. Appium Doctor tell us that all is OK.

Could you help us? Thanks,

Appium gives us the following log:

[HTTP] --> POST /wd/hub/session {"desiredCapabilities":{"platformName":"iOS","newCommandTimeout":"7200","app":"/Users/factoriapruebasproduban/Desktop/DKV_Apps/20092016_DigitalDoctor_0.2.4.ipa","platformVersion":"9.2","deviceName":"iPhone de Movilidad","bundleId":"es.minsait.DigitalDoctor","automationName":"Appium","udid":"43d03a2f1188b93f9a4d1fc5f0da6454eec02b03"}}

Please check

Basically you need to run:

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/db/lockdown/

I Have the same problem with a MacMini, please can anyone tell what could be wrong? For what I can see, I set an UDID and a real device, but there is an internal error refering to installing an xx.app file instead of an .ipa, this doesn’t look right
