Hi Hugo,

Try to install ideviceinstaller, the program which the log output suggests you're missing.

It comes from this project: http://www.libimobiledevice.org/

[Hugo]

Follows the same error

Why such an old version of Appium? Are you trying to test an older version of iOS? If not, please try appium 1.6.4

[Hugo]

When I try with version 1.6.4, it shows me the following error. Recognize a simulator and not my iPhone device.

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Could not create simulator with name 'appiumTest-59ed2abb-5a8f-48b0-8228-04b536f6eb1e', device type id 'iPhoneVHDR' and runtime id '10.3'. Reason: 'simctl error running 'create': Invalid device type: iPhoneVHDR'

Help!

[Brian_Watson]

I don't test with real devices yet, but I think you need to not use the "deviceName" cap when using real devices. Get rid of that for a real device and try again

[Hugo]

In the "deviceName" enter the name of the device, it does not recognize it!

deviceName: iPhoneVHDR

[Brian_Watson]

If you are testing with a real device, do NOT use the "deviceName" cap. Use the "udid" one.

[Hugo]

Also the UDID

{
"deviceName": "iPhoneVHDR",
"platformVersion": "10.3",
"automationName": "Appium",
"platformName": "IOS",
"UDID": "825a618a23dfff312f54d2f719b1844293aa5185",
"app": "/Users/equipobbva/Downloads/NXT_Peru_iPhone.ipa"
}

If I do not have the device name, it shows me the following message:

A new session could not be created. Details: The desiredCapabilities object was not valid for the following reason(s): deviceName can't be blank.

[Venkatesh]

Platform version 10.3 is not supported with Appium 1.4.13

[Hugo]

I updated the version 1.6.4 and show me the same error

[Venkatesh]

post the error trace
