I am starting appium 1.4.8 with the following parameters (application is native):
appium --address “127.0.0.1” --port “4725” --command-timeout “7200” --session-override --nodeconfig “/Volumes/Data/Grid/selenium/appium/appiumNode.json” --platform-version “8.0.2” --platform-name “iOS” --app “/Volumes/Data/testapplication.app” --udid “f315e023d63e62a4dd604a6d86423ca3c7fcf0f0” --device-name “AppleMobileDevice”
I tried to use autoLaunch=true and now instead of the previous issue i have the follwing one:
