ios debug webkit proxy disconnects while connecting to webview on Appium 1.6.0

The problem

ios debug webkit proxy disconnects, as soon as the gets app deployed on the the phone.

I run a shell script to runs this command before creating the ios driver: ios_webkit_debug_proxy -c 9f18f3f8f092bce333b63fd1e50a36332109654f:27753

Have added the desired capabilities below. This works fine on Appium 1.5.3, noticed this happening since moving to XcuiTest i.e Appium 1.6.0 I have to manually run the command, to get connected and get Webviews after the first attempt to connect to debug proxy fails.

Already added comments about ios debug webkit proxy here: https://github.com/google/ios-webkit-debug-proxy/issues/143

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

    DesiredCapabilities iOSCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("deviceName", Base.readInternalHash("ios_device"));
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", Base.readInternalHash("ios_version"));
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("automationName", "XCUITest");
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("showXcodeLog", true);
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("realDeviceLogger", "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/deviceconsole/deviceconsole");
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("app", System.getProperty("user.dir") + Base.readInternalHash("ios_app"));
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("bundleId", Base.readInternalHash("bundle_id"));
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 500);
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("autoWebview", true);
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("autoWebviewTimeout", 12000);
    //iOSCapabilities.setCapability("fullReset", true);
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("autoAcceptAlerts", true);
    iOSCapabilities.setCapability("udid", Base.readInternalHash("udid"));

    driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(Base.readInternalHash("url_ios")), iosNative());
