Calabash cannot find plist in iOS console

Question

I try to start the test server in calabash-ios consoleusing start_test_server_in_background, but I get an error that it cannot find the target layer. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and I definitely see the Info.plist file in the .app embedded product.

We hope that this is really a solution. But I had the same problem after I updated Calabash today. At the moment, I solved this by lowering the calabash cucumber to version 0.11.4, and run_loop dropped to 1.1.0

So, as long as this is not a real solution, this should be enough to launch you again.
