On iOS Device go to Settings>Developer>and Enable UI Automation.

8 years ago I was getting this error too when running the automation script on physical device (iPad mini): org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: A new session could not be created. (Original error: Instruments crashed on startup) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 30.83 seconds
The app kept crashing on the real device.
But enabling UI Automation on iOS Device go to Settings>Developer>and Enable UI Automation HELPED to sort the issue out.
Thanks so much @MJanach!!!

If I build SafariLauncher using XCode, it launches and navigates to apple.com. Using Appium, SafariLauncher opens briefly then crashes a few times. If anyone has any good general trouble shooting steps or can find useful info in the logs below, it would be highly appreciated.
