URGENT - Not able to Launch or Spy ios mobile application

Hi, I am trying to Spy and Record iOS Mobile Application but not able to launch the application. Displaying error. Image is attached.

Please help…

Have you followed complete setup for MacOS here: https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Mobile+on+macOS?

Can you try to execute this command from your terminal:

brew install -s --HEAD libimobiledevice ideviceinstaller

Regards

@“Vinh Nguyen”

Thanks for the quick response, I did try this and installed ideviceinstaller.

Also, I did update xcode to 9.2 version. But now noticed that, iOS simulators are not listing in the devices drop down in Katalon in both spy and record window.

Is there any compatibility concern between Katalon and xCode ?

Regards,

Hari

Also, tried with real device, getting below error consistently. Screen shot is attached

"Unable to start application on this device. String index out of range : -6 "

It is very much important to resolve this issue as our testing in sprint cycle is alt . Please help.

If you update your Xcode , you have to re-do configuration steps :slight_smile:

@vinh

I am using Wordpress sample apk which I have downloaded from google. Same error getting for all apps.

If you mean, re do the configuration what exactly I should repeat, could you please explain in detail.

Are you sure you are using APK? Your current selected device is iOS and you are using APK file? If so this will not work because .apk file can’t installed on iOS device, please help to double check it

Regard to my Xcode update, I mean you have to re-do configuration steps for WebDriver projects

@vinh

It was my mistake I did mention APK, I am using .ipa file only.

Sure, I will redo the xcode configuration and check for the luck. I will update you.

I installed xcode 8.3.3 and can see now simulators are listing in the drop but while launching app for spy or mobile app record, displaying error as below

Can you tell me more about your Appium version and iOS version?

Looks like this is an issue from either WDA, Xcode or Appium. Some founded pages:



=> Might worth restarting your machine, rebuild WebDriverAgent
