unable to open iOS 10 simualtor via Appium using xCode 8 beta

Question

i am trying to open iOS 10 simulator using appium 1.4.14 using the XCode 8 beta.

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "10.0"); 
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPad Air");

    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.VERSION, "8.0");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM,"Mac");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME,     "iPad Air");
    capabilities.setCapability("sendKeyStrategy","setValue");
    capabilities.setCapability("--no-reset", false);

My appium server code is like this

 CommandLine command = new CommandLine("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node");
    command.addArgument("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js", false);
    command.addArgument("--address", false);
    command.addArgument("127.0.0.1");
    command.addArgument("--port", false);
    command.addArgument("4723");
    //command.addArgument("--no-reset", false);
    command.addArgument("--full-reset", true);
    command.addArgument("--session-override", true);

I am getting the following error --- Could not find a device to launch. You requested 'iPhone (10.0 Simulator)', but the available devices were: ["iPad Air (10.0) [762BD271-B724-46DA-8312-4231A1BC4AD3] (Simulator)"]

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

You have to set the Xcode default path to the Beta version.

Check the current path using xcode-select --print-path

Update the xcode beta location path using sudo xcode-select --switch

[caps]
platformName = "iOS"
orientation = "PORTRAIT"
platformVersion = "9.3"
deviceName ="iPhone Simulator"
noReset = "true"
automationName = "xcuitest"
appiumVersion = "1.6.0-beta1"
app="/<pathtoapp>/<appname>.app"
[appium_lib]

Use automation name as xcuitest and specify appium version to be used
Check list of devices - xcrun simctl list and use below capabilities

You can install it with npm install -g appium@beta, and get the new system by setting the automationName desired capability to XCUITest. – Madhuri Oct 20 '16 at 06:16
