I am evaluvating Appium for my iOS automation testing. As a part of that, I am able to successfully execute appium element inspector when I choose my device target as iPhone simulator. But I am not able to invoke element inspector when I target real device.
I have signed my app with a development provisioning profile and I am able to install and run my app from Xcode 5. So my app setup looks okay as I am able to run my application.
Then I configured all the details in Appium.app GUI like bundle id, device etc... and started the appium server and inspector. When inspector is launched, my app is opened successfully in device but it is not doing any further action and after few seconds, I get a pop as "Please make sure appium server is running and APP_PATH is setup currently......."
I invoked some debugging logs and I am not able to figure out what is the issue from logs. Attaching logs

You're getting the log:
"Real device specified but no ipa or app path, assuming bundle ID is on device"
When I try to run the inspector without the app path, I get the error:
...running with an application opened by using the "App Path" parameter in Appium.app ...or by connecting with selenium client and supplying this in the desired capabilities object.
Try This:
- Archive a build in Xcode, then copy the .app file that's generated into a relevant directory.
- Copy the path of the .app file into the 'app path' configuration.
- Run It
