If you are running appium on a real iOS device, there are some other dependencies you will need to install.

specifically, you need to install ios-deploy.

You can install it using homebrew:

brew install ios-deploy

Setting up appium for real iOS devices involves a bunch more tricky steps you may need to solve after this one. Here is a tutorial I wrote just two weeks ago, so is probably the most up to date source right now:
