1.6.0-beta3 released

Appium 1.6.0 Beta 3

The Appium team has been hard at work getting the 1.6.0 beta into full working order.

It can be installed with npm install -g appium@beta

While each install of the beta will pull in the latest changes in dependent drivers (just re-install appium),
Beta 3 also includes support for automating Android devices using UI Automator 2,
the upgraded version of Android's automation suite. In order to use the new system,
add the automationName capability of UIAutomator2. For more information on the
system and its changes, see here.

Once again, please report any problems on the Appium GitHub repository (please take a moment to search for the same problem already reported) with as much information as possible to diagnose and fix.

Am updated the appium with below command

When launching for iOS 10 physical device I now get the following error:

No profiles for 'com.facebook.IntegrationApp' were found: Xcode couldn't find a provisioning profile matching 'com.facebook.IntegrationApp'.
Code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 10.0'

Can someone please help me? I have tried quite a few things including manually assigning provisioning profiles to the "WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj" file through XCode8.

Hi, I'm trying to set up my Appium environment for the first time. Do I still need to install Carthage before installing this release? (I'm using XCode8.)
