Appium inspector session is very slow (and hanging) when running a session on iOS real device-CodePudding

Scenario

I'm trying to run automated tests on an iOS real device, however, every time I start the Appium inspector session the client displays the app's loading page and never refreshes to update the inspector and display the home page.

Problem

When I manually press the refresh button on Appium the spinner gets displayed and takes a very long time to refresh the inspector. This happens on every interaction with the app.

Given

iOS real device: iPhone 12
iOS version: 15.1.1
Appium client: 1.15.0 and then tried 1.17.0

CodePudding user response：

Turned out the getSession() function in Appium was taking too long to get a response due to a large table list, when I removed the items from the list Appium was fast again and getSession() was not taking a long time to get a response.
