Why are you trying to run iOS automation on a real device? That's a bad idea.

iOS Automation on a real device is notoriously slow and problematic.

For automation, you want solid and reliable. Use the iPhone Simulator.

Steps to using iPhone Simulator:

1. Uncheck UDID
2. Uncheck BundleId
3. Check Force Device
4. Set Force Device to "iPhone Simulator"
5. Launch Appium Server
6. Launch Appium Inspector

Steps to using a real device:

1. Uncheck the App Path capability

4. Launch Appium Server
5. Launch Appium Inspector
