Appium ios - Unknown device or simulator UDID error

Question

I am using Apium+python to automate on Mac, and i am trying to add my new iPad and set up desired capabilities. The iPad use a 25 character one and have a “-” in between like: XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When I try to use that, I get an error like one here: https://prnt.sc/1w0rukf 1

Can someone help on how to get past this?

Answer 1

Can you verify that the iPad is connected?

idevice_id -l command returns the list of connected iOS devices.

If you get idevice_id command not found error message, you can install with brew install ideviceinstaller

If brew is not installed, you can install brew first with this command

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh )"
