无法在测试云上运行Xamarin.UITest：当前JsonReader项不是对象

Question

I have a trouble with running Xamarin.UITest tests in the Xamarin.TestCloud, although it passes on simulators and real iPads perfectly.

Application: I have the iOS app's source code(XCode project), which I linked to calabash via adding calabash.framework to the app(due to this tutorial ) Although I found a lot of info that app needs Xamarin.Calabash.Start() , I haven't added it anywhere because actually, I am not sure where and how I should put it in the XCode project. My modest opinion about it: this string is needed only for an application written in Xamarin Studio itself due to the simplification of linking the app to the calabash.framework.

To start tests in the BaseTest.class I added only:

app = ConfigureApp.
.iOS
.EnableLocalScreenshots()
.InstalledApp("com.ios.dev")
.StartApp();

After giving to Xamarin studio the .ipa file, it crashes with:

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/4.8.0/bin/mono "/Users/pavlo.shtefanesku/Xamarin/fieldforcetest/packages/Xamarin.UITest.2.0.7/tools/test-cloud.exe" asubmit "/Users/pavlo.shtefanesku/Documents/appStore/MobileField.ipa" --async --fixture QLFieldForceiOSUITests.LoginTests.LoginForTheFirstTime --assembly-dir "/Users/pavlo.shtefanesku/Xamarin/fieldforcetest/QLFieldForceiOSUITests/bin/Debug"

Error reading JObject from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an object: Integer. Path '', line 1, position 3.
The application was terminated by a signal: SIGHUP

in advance, I don't use any JSON objects or whatever implicitly at least.

The additional packages used in the test project is only CsvHelper,

Please help with this issue.

I have already resolved this issue. As @Kent.Green mentioned it was the problem with the .ipa file of the app, I've just forgotten to put the .app in the "Payload" folder before zipping it. ps Thanks to Xamarin Test cloud support, Kent helped me as a Pro:)
