AppiumDriver.launchApp() causes ENOTDIR error

Closing and then launching the app on mac for iOS simulator throws expcetion

user.mDriver.closeApp();
user.mDriver.launchApp(); // <--- line throws exception

Expcetion is thrown on only one mac, but not another mac I use for testing.

Any advice? Here is stack trace.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: spawn ENOTDIR

Reproduce the failure on macOS with an iOS simulator by calling closeApp() followed by launchApp() using the capabilities shown in the report. Start at the InteractsWithApps.launchApp entry point and compare the affected and unaffected machines. Done means identifying the environment-specific ENOTDIR cause and verifying that this sequence works reliably.
