Instruments crashed on startup - Appium ios real device

Question

I am doing iOS automation on real device. But i got stuck with the error \"Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Instruments crashed on startup\". logs are below.

Answer 1

The problem was that I did not have the appium instruments node package installed. Once I installed it the crash went away. Check that you have the appium-instruments node package installed:

    npm install appium-instruments
