Appium in Yosemite - instruments WebKit Threading Violation - initial use of WebKit from a secondary thread.

Hi, I am working with Appium@1.3.4 and Protractor for iOS hybrid app automation in Yosemite. I am getting the error on executing the protractor tests with Appium server. Kindly advise.

My Config file: exports.config = { allScriptsTimeout: 50000 , getPageTimeout: 50000 , seleniumAddress: ‘http://localhost:4723/wd/hub’,

specs: ['PageObjectSpec.js'],

capabilities: { browserName: ‘iOS’ , ‘appium-version’:‘1.3.4’, platformName:‘iOS’ , platformVersion: 8.1 , deviceName:‘iPhone6’ , autoWebview:true , app: /Users/qualcomm/Desktop/bhawani/AbbVieCareCH.app , },

baseUrl: ‘http://10.0.2.2:’ + (process.env.HTTP_PORT || ‘8000’) , jasmineNodeOpts: {showColors: true, defaultTimeoutInterval: 50000} , };
