Question

I am new to Appium and I am trying to run the appium.app with iOS option using stimulator.I have selected the app path and show stimulator log with platform version as 8.1.
I have also added appium.txt file with the following content in the appium installation directory.
[caps]
platformName = "ios"
deviceName = "iPhone 6"
platformVersion = "8.1"
app = “/Users/dhanasekarbabu/downloads/untitled/UICatalog.app"
Also please find the following log,

Also if i select force device and provided a UDID after selecting the UDID I'm getting the issue "Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Log capture did not start in a reasonable amount of time".
I have changed the stuimulator devices and i am facing the same issue.
Also please find the following go for your reference.
