Getting Posix spawn failure error - Appium iOS

I am trying to run automation scripts for a single application using Java in Appium iOS.

When I run the simulator, I get the following error -

info: Attempting to retry launching instruments, this is retry #1 info: Attempting to run app on iPhone Retina (4-inch) - Simulator - iOS 7.1 info: Spawning instruments with command: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments -t /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/PlugIns/AutomationInstrument.bundle/Contents/Resources/Automation.tracetemplate -w iPhone Retina (4-inch) - Simulator - iOS 7.1 /Users/abc/Desktop/smriti/iPhoneSimulator/AppIOS.app -e UIASCRIPT /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-uiauto/uiauto/bootstrap.js -e UIARESULTSPATH /tmp/appium-instruments info: And extra without-delay env: {"DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES":"/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-instruments/thirdparty/iwd/InstrumentsShim.dylib","LIB_PATH":"/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-instruments/thirdparty/iwd"} info: And launch timeout: 90000ms info: [INST STDERR] posix spawn failure; aborting launch (binary == /Users/abc/Desktop/smriti/iPhoneSimulator/AppIOS.app/AppIOS). info: [INST STDERR] Instruments Trace Error : Error Starting Recording 

Then I tried to work on a real device, and then received the following error:

 info: Installing ipa found at AppIOS.ipa info: Creating iDevice object with udid 3daa1240e495c84e8878996649301fd9759a07df info: Couldn't find ideviceinstaller, trying built-in at /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/libimobiledevice-macosx/ideviceinstaller info: Cleaning up appium session error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Command failed: dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../lib/libimobiledevice.3.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/libimobiledevice-macosx/ideviceinstaller Reason: image not found info: Error: Command failed: dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../lib/libimobiledevice.3.dylib Referenced from: /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/build/libimobiledevice-macosx/ideviceinstaller Reason: image not found at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:637:15) at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:98:17) at maybeClose (child_process.js:743:16) at Socket.<anonymous> (child_process.js:956:11) at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:95:17) at Pipe.close (net.js:465:12) info: Responding to client with error: {"status":33,"value":{"message":"A new session could not be created.

Then I pressed ā€œiā€ to launch the Appium inspector when launched on a real device → it launched my application and then the application crashed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You should not try to install IPA files on the simulator. AFAIK, they were created for ARM processors and can only work on iOS devices.
