iOS simulator taking 2-3 minutes every-time for starting/invoking

I have set up appium on mac for iOS automation.

It is taking 2-3 minutes everytime to start the simulator.

Most of the sections they said it will take time only first time but here it is taking time everytime

It was a waste of time to wait so much after every execution.

Few links have said to set newCommandTimeout as the capability but that doesn't work.

I am using below version

  • appium-desktop-1.2.7-mac
  • Xcode 8.1
  • Simulator iPhone 7 Plus
  • MacOS Sierra Version 10.12

Any workaround will be helpful :)

Solution

  • Check Reset Strategies

    if you add capability noReset=true, your simulator will be started only once
