simctl error running 'install': An error was encountered processing the command (domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code=2)

The problem To Friday I was can run app in simulater with appium, yesterday I updated MacOS 10.13.4 (17E199) and Xcode 9.3, after that I get errors.

Environment

Good Morning, I had same issue, solution is obvious and easy - we need to clean up memory of simulator. When you open iOS simulator, then Hardware -> Erase all contents and settings Seems like, this issue occurs because of incorrect clean of device memory

[mykola-mokhnach]

Then you either provide an incorrect application path in capabilities, the application bundle itself is broken or Xcode deployment on the particular machine is broken. In any case this error has nothing to do with Appium itself.

closing as not an issue.
