Instruments crashed at start up - appium

I am running appium server 1.2 at MAC OS 10.8.X and appis installed on real iOs device Iphone 5.
When I try to run the test script, it gives me the following error.

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

The problem was that I did not have the appium instruments node package installed. Once I installed it the crash went away. Check that you have the appium-instruments node package installed:
npm install appium-instruments
Few things to keep in mind while running in real device:
1)No simulator should be opened.
2)Make sure the .app file which you are using is build for real device(take the help of developer to find it out)
3)Pass correct udid and bundle id.
4)If you are getting error like app installed failed or something like that then try to do pass app path from appium gui and other parameters from your code i.e. device name , platform capabilities; trying these different combinations do help sometimes.

How to Run Appium on ios Simulator 8.x/7.x

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!

Able to start appium inspector and run the app over simulator using a .app file, but unable to do the same through a .ipa file over a real device

I have no idea what went wrong, we were able to install the application on the iOS device before, but I changed my mac, and the error started appearing.
So I have no problems with running appium and the inspector over simulators using the .app file. The issue is only with trying to have appium run over real devices.
I tried with a ipa that is of ad-hoc build, and .app files that were done with developer provisioning.
Im able to install the app over X-Code, but if I Run the same over appium, it gives either a fruitstrap crash error, and if the app is already installed on to the device and appium is run, it gives a "error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Instruments crashed on startup". and the app starts up and closes instantly.
I have read almost all stack overflow pages on the error, and none of the solutions seem to help me solve this. :(

The issue is that the app must be signed with a developer profile for it to work on real ios devices.I had faced the same issue and it works after signing it with a development profile(u can get one from apple dev site for $99).
info: \[debug\] \[INST STDERR\] Instruments Trace Error : Target failed to run: Permission to debug com.indecomm.literaturelibrary was denied. The app must be signed with a development identity (e.g. iOS Developer).
pls refer to this for further details https://discuss.appium.io/t/the-app-must-be-signed-with-a-development-identity/2653

Hi I am receiving this error and I am definitely running on device. here are my details. Thanks in advance
am trying to do a simple launch application on a real device to no avail. My settings are as follows: iphone 6, iOS 8.0, Mac OSX 10.9.5, Xcode 6.1, Appium 1.3.1 (I have also tried running from the node appium 1.3.3 (same error)). Appium settings - I have tried running from 127.0.0.1/4723 and 0.0.0.0/4723. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Have tried numerous troubleshooting tips from online..including clearing the Device console in Xcode...clearing cache using node command. adding permissions...
