I am running appium for iOS using iPad 9.3.3 using JAVA in ECLIPSE.
Just now I updated to appium 1.6.1 beta and tried running the code which was running OK with 1.6.0.
But I am getting the below error.
“Unable to start WebDriverAgent: Error: Command ‘idevicedate -u 8fxxxxxxxxxx4a2aa6154cf29bd79ac6cd93686c’ exited with code 255”
unable to proceed. I tried updating libimobiledevice,but still no help.
Please help.
