Hello all,
I am working on:

Mac Mini with OS version 10.10.
Xcode 6.0
Appium Version 1.3.4

whenever I launch my script through eclipse simulator will be launched and application will installed but once launch the aplication launched applications is getting crashed or Instruments is getting crashed(im not able to proceede further) simulator will closed and reopened
Application used to work fine with In the previous versions of appium but now its not working as expected

My DesiredCapabilities are as follows
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“appium-version”,“1.3.4”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”, “iOS”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “8.0”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”, “iPhone 5”);
capabilities.setCapability(“app”, “/Users/***/Desktop/.app”);

Below is logs attached from eclipse Junit console(Im running script as Junit script)

Make sure .app is build specifically for simulator, not real device.

Hello All,
I am also facing this issue on Iphone 6 Simulator…
Did anyone got a solution to this?

Thanks,

Hi Team,

There might be multiple reason because of that you are getting the above error, please follow the below step.

1.Build the project for the same simulator on which you are going to run automation.
2.Upgrade your X code version according to iOS version.
3.Open the Xcode then minimize the Xcode , then run your execution.

I believe it will help.

Whenever I launch my script through eclipse simulator will be launched and application will installed but once launch the aplication launched applications is getting crashed or Instruments is getting crashed(im not able to proceede further) simulator will
