How do you launch an Appium node? Command and desired capabilities. — Kristaps Mežavilks
But what parameters do you use there? You need to match parameters for specific device and OS!! — Kristaps Mežavilks
I use Platform - 8.1, Device iphone 6 but these are unchecked there. Am I need to check it and then launch the server ??? — Deergh Mittal
can you check is there any other appium is running background ? — Mani

you can try with changing port number of server to something else like 5555 and updating same in your code

driver = new IOSDriver<WebElement>(new URL ("http://0.0.0.0:5555/wd/hub"), capabilities);
