Setting up instruments without delay (iwd) for xcode 7 and iOS >= 9.0

For iOS >= 9.0 instruments without delay (iwd) does not work by passing binaries through the command line (appium does this under the hood for xcode < 7). See iwd

For enabling iwd for xcode >= 7,

• Check out appium-instruments
• Run xcode-iwd.sh present in <appium-instruments>/bin/, with arguments as indicated below:

sh <appium-instruments>/bin/xcode-iwd.sh <path to xcode> <path to appium-instruments>

eg. sh ./bin/xcode-iwd.sh /Applications/Xcode.app /Users/xyz/appium-instruments/

Note: iwd with Xcode 7 will only work for iOS >= 9.0, you can switch to an older version of Xcode for iOS < 9.0
