Appium saying install libimobiledevice but terminal says already installed

Question

I am trying to run Appium on a real iOS device. In the logs I get the following error:

The 'idevice_id' program is not installed. If you are running a real device test it is necessary. Install with 'brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD.

I then run brew install libimobiledevice --HEAD in the terminal and get the following warning:

libimobiledevice HEAD-5a85432_2 is already installed

Anyone know a way around this infinite loop of warnings?

Answer 1

Go to terminal and type

brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice

This will work!
