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:
info: [debug] Attempting to run app on iPhone 5s (8.3 Simulator)

```
Please let me know, how can I resolve these errors and start automating on ios simulators using appium.
