A couple things to try...

• Try upgrading to the latest Appium 1.6.4-beta2
• Are you starting a new Appium for each script? Or trying to run all scripts against the same Appium process? I updated my tests to start a new Appium process at the beginning of each suite (@ BeforeClass) and the stop it at the end of the suite (@ AfterClass). Where each suite has 1 or more tests in it.

Hi Brian_Watson,
Thanks for your prompt reply!!!.
I have upgraded appium 1.6.3 to 1.6.4-beta2 and getting other issue "[debug] [XCUITest] Failed to create WDA session. Retrying..." after 3 or 5 scripts executed and remaining scripts are getting skipped.
And we are starting appium server one time , but making appium instances for each and every method using session override option.

Thanks & Regards,
