As I'm new to Appium on IOS, I couldn't find the issue
I'm facing this issue.
---> I have given the app path as .app file on simulator----Still fails
---> I have used .ipa file on real device--- Still fails.
Every time the app opens and crashes in a loop on startup.

Could anyone help me with this please ?
Thanks in advance.

When Appium tries to run application, the screen flashes with app splash screen, as if Appium tries to launch app multiple times. This behaviour happens both on simulator and real device.
I set enable on my iOS devices UI Automation, but when I try start inspector I have this problem:

Application is in form of .ipa
Target failed to run: Permission to debug com.myapp.iphone was denied.
The app must be signed with a development identity (e.g. iOS Developer).
You application should be signed with developers key. Click here for documentation
If you are using iOS Simulator, do the following...
In Appium, go to Developer Settings, Check Custome Server Flags and write --native-instruments-lib in the text box.
Now start Appium Server.
Hope this helps!

You should give your developer identity while creating the .ipa...
If you are creating ipa file through terminal, you can follow the given link [blog]: Xcode "Build and Archive" from command line
I also struggled with this problem and found that you need to enable UI automation in developer option in you iDevice
How to enable UI Automation
1. switch off the iDevice,
2. then connect it to the Mac running Xcode
3. before switching it back on to have Developer options appear.
4. tap on developer option and Enable UI automation
In my case, the following command made my life hell:
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS\ DeviceSupport/*
So don't add it to the build step.
To fix the issue:
Restart device > run Xcode > connect device > build & run the app > stop & quit Xcode
Now verify launching app without crashing the instruments.
I am trying to do the automation using Appium on ios simulators.
My config is:
OS version: 10.10.x
Appium: 1.4.0
Xcode: 6.3.2
and caps for appium is:
automationName = "Appium"
platformName = "iOS"
platformVersion = "8.3"
deviceName = "iPhone 5s"
app = "/Users/skaram200/Desktop/ios_build/XfinityMyAccount_6.3.app"
When I run the appium it is giving me an error:

Please let me know, how can I resolve these errors and start automating on ios simulators using appium.
Here you need to pass the --default-device or -dd as true for simulators and need to specify the --bundleID of the app. And we need to have debug .ipa or .app file to do automation.
Creating a successfull Build without an error.
I'm using Cordova, got some issues with that as well, this is what Idid in order to generate the .app:
cordova build ios --emulator
That's it, after that I was able to use Appium and push the .app to the simulator.
I hope it helps somebody else!
I had installed Appium and all necessary stuff for running of application via iOS Simulator
Then I started a simulator and launched the Appium (sure path to application was set in Settings before launching)
I don't know whether the application should be open immediately after launching or not. That's why I ran Inspector. Seems the device was connected and installation of app was started. App crashed after the launch screen was shown. I tried the same flow with another application, getting the same result. Here are logs from Appium:

The solution is simple, though not trivial
Once you've build the app for the simulator:
In Xcode at the left panel find Products
There you'll find your application. Tap it with right click (even if it is red)
At the right panel you'll see the path at Full Path. Copy it up to last element. For example seeing /projects/.../yourproject-<bhah>/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/yourproject.app you need: /projects/.../yourproject-<bhah>/Build/Products
3.1. Or you can find it with:Tap it with right click (even if it is red) and select show in finder
Go one to the enclosing folder (Go->Enclosing folder)
Open that dir. You'll find there Debug-iphonesimulator and yourproject.app there.
that's the one you need

How can I fix this?
The problem seems to be with device. Try below steps:
Open Xcode
Goto Window
Organizer
Under you device name goto Console.
Clear the the console.
And then run test cases again.
Hope that helps !!!
I also faced a similar problem and none of the above techniques worked.
However I was able to run appium by doing the following changes in the setting
choose xcode instruments
choose automation
Look for options and select allow device for automation
A window comes up asking for permission. Select 'okay' and you should be able to run appium now
