The file “WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file

Question

I have installed Appium 1.6.4 on Mac using Terminal. Also I can able to inspect iPhone WebElements using Safari Browser in MAC.

But I need to inspect the keyboard elements and date picker elements on iPhone real device. For this, I have again installed Appium-desktop 1.0.2 beta2 version. When I launch the Appium desktop(GUI) and run the selenium code. It throws the below error.

As per the above log, I have navigated to the below location,

/Users/msubramaniam/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

I found that there are two WebDriverAgents

WebDriverAgent-brdadhpuduowllgivnnvuygpwhzy
WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs

It is calling the second WebDriverAgent and it does not have the "WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app".

First WebDriverAgent has "WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app".

So how to call the first WebDriverAgent.

I have also tried to remove the WebDriverAgent by using the below command.

rm -rf /WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs

But it is not deleted.

Kindly provide the solution for this to resolve.
