Hi there,
I have seen a few discussions around the issue that we are experiencing.
We are basically running Appium to test an application on a real IOS device. We were able to execute a few tests for the last few months without any issues and about 4 days ago we ran into a maxBuffer error on stdout.
This is the stack trace that we are getting. I had done some reading on the various forums and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive resolution for this issue and it does like that when path of the app is too long, the buffer maxes out on installation.
How do we resolve this issue? I am at whits end now.
