Appium doesn't support iOS 10 yet (as of Oct 14,2016 see here) As a temporary fix you can use ideviceinstaller directly to install the app

As far as I know there is no a single bug tracking appium's support for iOS 10 since it is a collection of smaller issues.

    Seems a valid solution to the issue to me. @RSF could you improve it by adding a link to the offical bug and ideally linking the error messages returned.
