Maybe I figured out.
I reverted wd version to 1.11.2 since 1.12 had an issue to HTTPS, but 1.17.1 used the 1.12.x to build accidentally. So, a session for HTTPS got an error (by wd)

Good that you figured it out will be waiting for the fix

yes, doesn't work.

It is appreciated debug more since I tested with my personal account before. Then, it had no issue about HTTP or HTTPS. Maybe your case was a different situation.

Updating to the latest version of appium desktop 1.17.1-1 fixed this issue for me also.

I have the same error on Appium Desktop.

The problem

• unable to start appium inspector and get "could not start session" error.
• I use Appium Desktop version (1.17.1)
• Do I need Xcode to integrate headspin and Appium Desktop or
• Do I need to upload an app's sdk to Appium Desktop?
• Is there any link that explain details about how to integrate HeadSpin and Appium Desktop?

@MyatNoeWai
Basically, each vendor has their way, so you should ask them first.
