org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Response code 500. Message: null

I am trying to run my automation test using java-client:8.0.0 beta version on a experitest cloud platform but while running the test getting the below issue.

Code:

protected IOSDriver driver = null;
DesiredCapabilities dc = new DesiredCapabilities();

@BeforeEach
public void setUp()  {

    dc.setCapability("testName", "Quick Start iOS Native Demo");
    dc.setCapability("accessKey", accessKey);
    dc.setCapability("deviceQuery", "@os='ios' and @category='TABLET'");

    dc.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, "cloud:com.experitest.ExperiBank");
    dc.setCapability(IOSMobileCapabilityType.BUNDLE_ID, "com.experitest.ExperiBank");



    try {
        driver = new IOSDriver(new URL("https://specsavers.experitest.com/wd/hub"), dc);
   
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@Test
public void quickStartiOSNativeDemo() {
    driver.rotate(ScreenOrientation.PORTRAIT);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='usernameTextField']")).sendKeys("company");
    driver.hideKeyboard();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='passwordTextField']")).sendKeys("company");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='loginButton']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='makePaymentButton']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='phoneTextField']")).sendKeys("0541234567");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='nameTextField']")).sendKeys("Jon Snow");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='amountTextField']")).sendKeys("50");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='countryButton']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Switzerland']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='sendPaymentButton']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Yes']")).click();
}

@AfterEach
public void tearDown() {
    System.out.println("Report URL: "+ driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("reportUrl"));
    driver.quit();
}
