问题
Maybe somebody can help me.
When appium tries to run application, the screen flashes with app splash screen, as if appium tries to launch app multiple times. This behaviour happens both on simulator and real device.
I set enable on my iOS devices UI Autimation, but when i try start inspector i have this problem:
info: [debug] [INST STDERR] 2015-11-05 15:11:05.082 instruments[1495:39489] WebKit Threading Violation - initial use of WebKit from a secondary thread.

Target failed to run: Permission to debug com.myapp.iphone was denied.
The app must be signed with a development identity (e.g. iOS Developer).
You application should be signed with developers key. Click here for documentation

If you are using iOS Simulator, do the following...
In Appium, go to Developer Settings, Check Custome Server Flags and write --native-instruments-lib in the text box.
Now start Appium Server.
Hope this helps!

You should give your developer identity while creating the .ipa...
If you are creating ipa file through terminal, you can follow the given link [blog]: Xcode "Build and Archive" from command line

I also struggled with this problem and found that you need to enable UI automation in developer option in you iDevice
How to enable UI Automation 1. switch off the iDevice, 2. then connect it to the Mac running Xcode 3. before switching it back on to have Developer options appear. 4. tap on developer option and Enable UI automation

In my case, the following command made my life hell:
rm -rf $HOME/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS\ DeviceSupport/*
So don't add it to the build step.
To fix the issue: Restart device > run Xcode > connect device > build & run the app > stop & quit Xcode
Now verify launching app without crashing the instruments.
