It' worked for me.

You can config file by this command:

  • grep -rl "Could not detect Mac OS X Version from sw_vers output:" /Applications/Appium.app/

  • Terminal will show : /Applications/Appium.app//Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-support/build/lib/system.js /Applications/Appium.app//Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-support/lib/system.js /Applications/Appium.app//Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium-support/build/lib/system.js /Applications/Appium.app//Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium-support/lib/system.js

  • Use command vim and config each file.
