Answer 1

Update your xcode to 8.x latest version .
Update your Appium to 1.6.4 latest version .
Update you appium_lib gem version to latest version .
Install appium_doctor
npm install -g appium-doctor
appium-doctor --ios
This will check the health of your appium ios setup
Then run your tests as XCUITest and not as UIAutomator
Following are capabilities you can use:
You need to use capability
caps = {
:platformName => "iOS",
:deviceName => "iPhone 6",
:platformVersion => "9.3",
:app => app_path,
:noReset => 'true',
:newCommandTimeout => "30",
:automationName => "XCUITest",
:sendKeyStrategy => 'setValue'
}
Now that done, once appium starts, just try to find your element like normal web element
driver.find_element(id: 'dob').click
Hope it helps!!
