Hello. It’s time to write post, cause after 2 days of struggling with this error, I’m going mad. I have problem with launch Appium on: - OS X 10.9.4 - Appium 1.3.6 (GUI, not tried from console yet) - Simulator with version: 7.0 or 8.1 - application: .app (builded by me in XCode) or .ipa (builded by developer who has certs to build it) Error is always the same: **error: Log capture did not start in a reasonable amount of time error: Could not pre-launch appium: Error: Log capture did not start in a reasonable amount of time** Appium can close my Simulator, but can’t run it. If you have any suggestions, I’ll be very glad. My log: > Launching Appium with command: ‘/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node’ lib/server/main.js --command-timeout “7200” --pre-launch --platform-version “8.1” --platform-name “iOS” --app “my.application” --udid “BF0CF896-400A-4CF8-8501-C4EC41D451BA” --show-ios-log --device-name “iPhone 6 (8DB01BD3-E974-4BA6-AB40-50182BFD8800)” > info: [debug] Starting Appium in pre-launch mode > info: Pre-launching app > info: [debug] App is an iOS bundle, will attempt to run as pre-existing > info: [debug] Creating new appium session 16ba937f-5f55-4b88-a5d8-051949721ea4 > info: [debug] Removing any remaining instruments sockets > info: [debug] Cleaned up instruments socket /tmp/instruments\_sock > info: [debug] Setting Xcode folder > info: [debug] Setting Xcode version > info: [debug] Setting iOS SDK Version > info: [debug] Getting sdk version from xcrun with a timeout > info: [debug] iOS SDK Version set to 8.1 > info: [debug] Not checking whether simulator is available since we’re on a real device > info: [debug] Detecting automation tracetemplate > info: [debug] Not auto-detecting udid, running on sim > info: [debug] Could not parse plist file (as binary) at /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node\_modules/appium/my.application/en.lproj/Localizable.strings > info: Will try to parse the plist file as XML > info: [debug] Could not parse plist file (as XML) at /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node\_modules/appium/my.application/en.lproj/Localizable.strings > warn: Could not parse app Localizable.strings assuming it doesn’t exist > info: [debug] Creating instruments > info: On some xcode 6 platforms, instruments-without-delay does not work.

remove (for now at least) ``` --udid "BF0CF896-400A-4CF8-8501-C4EC41D451BA" ``` and replace ``` --device-name "iPhone 6 (8DB01BD3-E974-4BA6-AB40-50182BFD8800)" ``` with ``` --device-name "iPhone 6" ``` ---

I can’t do it because I’m not using any script, I try to launch Appium.app (GUI). There is drop-down list, where all my simulators are listed. All these simulators have ids. I deleted this id from selected simulator and uncheck “UDID”.

Same issue here. When I use a simulator, it gives a loop trying to install the app. I created an issue here on the forum, it’s been watched over 70 times, but no respons yet. ---

Bart\_Van\_Raemdonck, did you tried run it from any script? Or from console (with Appium as application on node.js server)? Did it work? ---

Below is what I’d do based on my experience with the Appium GUI App. 1. either provide app or bundleID - not both. If the app is already installed, untick the App path. 2. Remove the string after iPhone 5 in the Device name (you can edit the text in the dropdown). 3. untick UDID since youre using a simulator 4. platform version - are you sure this is the correct platform version? Isn’t it 7.1? Once you do the above, **click on the apple icon on the appium toolbar** -This will save your settings. If you click outside the window, it will **not** save your settings. ---

Things went forward, now it works! Thank you very much, Simon\_K!!! I also re-builded project in Xcode (6.0) get application “.app” from path: /Users/myuser/Library/Developer/Xcode/DeriviedData/myapp-appid/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyApplication.app ---
