Why do you think this is a problem with the Inspector?

On the screen that opens in the application if there is a lot of data, appium will do it. This error will not be received if less data is found on the same screen. I hope appium fixes this problem one day. Tasks opened for this situation are closeing as an external system.

Issue may be caused by the provided capabilities. appium:app requires a local path to an application file. com.apple.mobilecal is a bundle id, therefore appium:bundleId should be used. For now, closing due to no response.
