最近问我关于 Appium inspector 不能打开的人有点多，所以开一个贴来回答下。首先肯定是你打飞机的方式不对。

先说下我的环境：

• OSX10.11
• XCode Version 7.0.1 (7A1001)
• Appium 1.4.8

问的第一个问题，找不到设备，报如下类似的日志：

很多人不看日志，看不懂英文。其实很简单吗，You requested 'iPhone (9.0 Simulator)' 你要的是 iPhone (9.0 Simulator)，但是只有后面那一堆。怎么办呢？自己造一个。

打开 xcode 的设备：

根据自己想要的名字建立一个：

如果是 iPhone (9.0 Simulator)，那么 appium 对应的配置就是：

那可是个输入框，输入框，输入框！

这样就能找到设备了。但是你以为这样就完结了？于是有人又来问，我又遇到问题了，这样的日志：

[INST STDERR] dyld: could not load inserted library '/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-instruments/thirdparty/iwd7/InstrumentsShim.dylib' because no suitable image found. 

这是什么鬼？科学上网就能解决啊。https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/5720

Currently Instruments-Without-Delay does not work with iOS 9+. We are working on a fix for this.

In order to run the server without this shim, in "Developer Settings" add a "Custom Server Flag" --native-instruments-lib before launching the server.

于是：

设置好，启动起来！

再运行 inspector 试试？

我是这样的配置

启动好后，
