Having problems in running Appium app for automation mobile app testing
Following tool versions I'm using Appium version: 1.2.1 Xcode: 5.1.1
Following are the steps which I’m doing,
- Download Appium.dmg
- Run dmg file and then launched appium.app file
- Build application for 7.1 simulator from Xcode
- On appium.app, enabled ‘App Path’ option and provided .app file path “/Users/umairrashid/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/7.1/Applications/878133B5-7078-4E92-B3A2-607A3A3C2AC3/Recipes.app”
- In ‘General Settings’, Server Address: 127.0.0.1, Port: 4723
- Check for Updates: Enabled
- New Command Timeout: 7200s
When I click ‘Launch’ button then everything seems to be okay.
When I click ‘Inspector’ button then following errors displayed,
Could Not Launch Appium Inspector
Could not start a new session
Be sure the Appium server is running with an application opened by using the "App Path" parameter in Appium.app (along with package and activity for Android) or by connecting with selenium client and supplying this in the desired capabilities object.
In Appium Console, I got following error,

Here I'm expecting that when I click Inspect button from Appium then Simulator is launched and I can see XPaths etc in that view.
