Error in loading Appium XCUITEST driver - ios

Question

I am really stuck, any help will be appreciated...
I have installed the latest server version (1.6.0).
When I am checking the server version it is OK...
Asis-Mac-mini:/ asihizkiahu$ appium -v
1.6.0
Observe at the server version in the log attached, it indicates Appium v1.6.0-beta1 (wrong version)
Does this causes the error?
I get error...
[MJSONWP] Encountered internal error running command: Error: Could not navigate to webview; there are none!
Log with the wrong server:

Answer 1

My goal is to load the Appium server (version 1.6.0) via code, and to load the XCUITEST driver as well.
My code is...
Appium server load:
public static void startServer() {
CommandLine command = new CommandLine(
"node");
command.addArgument(
"/Users/asihizkiahu/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js",
false);
command.addArgument("--address", false);
command.addArgument("127.0.0.1");
command.addArgument("--port", false);
command.addArgument("4723");
// command.addArgument("---no-reset", true);
DefaultExecuteResultHandler resultHandler = new DefaultExecuteResultHandler();
DefaultExecutor executor = new DefaultExecutor();
executor.setExitValue(1);
try {
ColorLog.println(ColorLog.Level.DEBUG, command.toString());
executor.execute(command, resultHandler);
Thread.sleep(10000);
System.out.println("Appium server started.");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
driver load:
public class AppiumIOS {
private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AppiumIOS.class);
static WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {
String hubUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub";
String iOSDeviceName = "iPhone Simulator";
String iOSVersion = "10.0";
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", iOSDeviceName);
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", iOSVersion);
capabilities.setCapability("app", /Users/asihizkiahu/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Vi-chglmmqrkfgvuoflipawibkmabgs/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/Vi-Dev.app);
capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubUrl), capabilities);
}
