3. We would be inspecting the IOS
element using this GUI version of appium
4. Check the flag AppPath and provide
the path to your .app (you can find the path from Xcode)
Ex: The path I provided here is
'/Users/kalyan/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/UICatalog-fqsvdhmisheuvqbsuomezsujnqgi/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/UICatalog.app'
5. Ensure you pick the .app path which
is in 'Debug-iphonesimulator' folder and not 'Debug-iphoneos folder (when you
run the UICatalog code on a real device from Xcode, the .app will be created in
'Debug-iphoneos).
