[XCUITest] The 'idevice_id' program is not installed. If you are running a real device test it is necessary. Install with 'brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD'

Try to run idevice_id -l if error will be shown run brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD

[Hashili]

I have libimobiledevice --HEAD installed on the MAC. Executing the command 'brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD' showing it is already available.
And i am able run the test cases when manually start appium. The issue is there when trying to start appium from JAVA

[saikrishna321]

[Hashili]

@saikrishna321
