Hi All,

@mrajendrac You have to use simulator compiled .app file. ipa file cant be used with simulator.

Yes, you can use an ipa file with a tethered iOS device, provided the ipa file is signed with a Development identity.

I understand that this is an old post but I ran into this same issue today. Why does Appium not catch this condition and display an error? That would be better then waiting for an error message that requires a forum post to decipher.
