Could not connect to simulator - Make sure both host and port are correct and reachable (IDB) about appium-idb HOT 9 OPEN

The flow we are trying involves running the idb kill command, which seems to crash the process. I'm working on trying to figure out a configuration that works.

Is there any fix currently for this? Thanks!

johnlim posted a workaround in the original post:

The workaround is to uninstall IDB

Same issue here with Appium 1.15.1

from appium-idb.

Uninstalling idb which was installed before appium solved me the problem either.

Got the same problem. When I start manually idb_companion I got:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/protobuf/lib/libprotobuf.20.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/idb_companion
Reason: image not found

I have libprotobuf.21.dylib but not libprotobuf.20.dylib

To actually use idb, I am working on a fix. The build is messed up right now, but it should be out soon.

@imurchie any updates on this?

from appium-idb.

I uninstalled idb (since I was not using it) and it's fine now, so the workaround works. Standing by for the issue to be solved.
