@prathyushrj You can set the appium capabilities to neither reinstall or reset

no-reset = true
full-reset = false

@prathyushrj I use java Runtime class to execute system commands. You can use it like :

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("idevicescreenshot -u "+udid+" temp.tiff");
Another way of use with two commands. no need to use temp file.

idevicescreenshot -u $1 screenshot.png
sips -s format png screenshot.png --out screenshot.png
