I'm trying to inspect the elements of the IntegrationApp.app that comes with the WebDriverAgent project. I built the app on a simulator in xcode but when I:
{
"automationName": "XCUITest",
"platformName": "iOS",
"deviceName": "iPad Air (3rd generation)",
"platformVersion": "13.1",
"app": "/Users/[MAC_USER]/Desktop/IntegrationApp.app"
}
The simulator boots up and then Appium Desktop terminates leaving the ios simulator open without the app being installed. Has anyone encountered similar issues? Any thoughts what could be causing the issue? When running xcrun simctl list it lists the model. Below are the appium logs:

This issue is with idb. It seems that idb is not working properly. You need to uninstall idb completely.
pip uninstall fb-idb
brew uninstall idb
brew uninstall idb-companion
And then make sure that below commands should not give any results.
which idb
which idb-companion
Now run your code it should work fine. Basically we don't need idb to run ios simulator
