Answer 1

It's saying it can't find the WebDriver app. Can you confirm its existence in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/?
If it doesn't exist, there is something wrong with your Appium install so I'd recommend reinstalling npm uninstall -g appium and npm install -g appium. Probably safe to do that anyway.
Also make sure you restart your device and uninstalling any existing WebDriver app on the device.

Answer 2

Error clear shows -- /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app}
Webdriver agent need to be successfully running on device
Try to configure Webdriver agent and Developer ID ::
Open the existing the WebDriver Agent (double click on WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj)
On top of Xcode you File > New> File , then you will an pop up something like this
Select OSX->.Other-> Select Configuration settings file.
Paste the following things in newly created file.
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = xxxxxxxxx
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = iPhone Developer
Development team is Team ID which your developer should be able to provide . Dont change the CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY.
In device.propoerties file add this
xcodeConfigFile=/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/Config.xcconfig
In ConfigCapa.java file add this
capabilities.setCapability(“xcodeConfigFile”,emulatorProp.getProperty(“xcodeConfigFile”));
Open terminal go to
$ cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/WebDriverAgent/
$ mkdir -p Resources/WebDriverAgent.bundle
sh ./Scripts/bootstrap.sh –d
Go to terminal type
xcodebuild -project WebDriverAgent.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination ‘id=DeviceID’ test Last line on build output above command should be Listening on USB. Then you are all set!
brew install libimobiledevice –HEAD
