if you are unable to execute appium script even after creating a developer team and building the app in Xcode..

Follow the steps given in the below link and try running appium after those steps, I tried it (note: there were some unthinkable libraries missing installation:) and working for me. I am having Mac OS 10.12.5 and Appium version 1.6.5. Hope this is helpful.
