I have the same on platform 9.3.5 with Appium 1.5.3.
I dont know what happend , yesterday everything worked nice.

I’m seeing the same issue on IOS using Appium.app to open the app for debugging.
platform 9.3.5 with Appium 1.5.3.

The App is already installed and should not be installed. This has worked fine in the past, just started failing, maybe the upgrade from 9.3.4 to 9.3.5.

Gist of Appium Log:

I think we should probably post to request a fix/investigation on github issues.

I’m getting this issue after I upgraded to iOS 10.0.1

6

I’ve noticed there was an Itunes update around the time the tests
stopped working on both the CI server and also my local Mac. Really nothing else that i’m aware has changed in the setup. The itunes update (see update history in Appstore) was around 15/16th of September.

Could this have caused things to not work any longer?

7

I created a github issue on this topic.

8

Did you update your Mac to 10.11.6 recently?
If Yes, Follow the below post and check if thats the issue.
There has been a security upgrade recently which has caused issues.

I am also facing the same problem and I tried the solutions which you suggested but still it is not working.This is the logs which I am getting

Problem was solved here:

It is working now after executing the following command.

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/db/lockdown/
