Is this an issue specifically with Appium Inspector?

Please provide the Appium server log. Also check the output of xcrun xctrace list devices - is the simulator with that UDID present in the list?

[JakfarShodiq]

Hi @eglitise thank you for the response, this is from appium logs

It seems like you don't have any installed simulators with iOS 17.0, only 17.0.1. Try changing appium:platformVersion to 17.0.1. If that doesn't help, please provide the full Appium server log.

[JakfarShodiq]

Hi @eglitise Previously, I gave iOS 17.0.1, but the error still appeared.

"How can I print the complete Appium server logs?"

[eglitise]

Ok, then I would suggest to keep appium:platformVersion as 17.0 or remove it entirely, and use appium:udid with the simulator's UDID. You are already setting it in the above screenshot, but the capability is incorrectly named as appium:uuid.

A simple way to get the full logs is to print everything to a file (launch the server as appium >> logfile.log 2>&1)

[JakfarShodiq]

Hi @eglitise Still failed, I have updated the UDID and removed the capability, but the issue is still not resolved. I have attached the complete logs for reference. logile.log

I have no idea for this case hmm still searching for the solutions.

[eglitise]

One thing that seems odd about the log is that it lists the current user as root. Maybe you're running something in sudo mode?

[JakfarShodiq]

hi @eglitise issues SOLVED, My simulator is showing up perfectly. ohh man, thank you very much. I spend 2 days for this issues 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 When running Appium commands, I sometimes need to use 'sudo' mode, so I think all Appium commands require it 😲

Once again, thank you for your help

[eglitise]

Which commands require sudo for you? I've never encountered this. I think using Appium with sudo is generally discouraged anyway.

[jlipps]

Yes, avoid running in sudo at all costs.

[Jenora1]

What did you do to fix the issue? I am having this exact problem. Thanks!

@JakfarShodiq

Hi @Jenora1 simply remove sudo command. As the default appium command doesn't require it, there is no need for it.
