iOS 12.2 Web Test fails on 1.13.0 because we set "-u" as argument

[umutuzgur]

The problem

When -u is set on iOS 12.2 to set the initial url, which is known not to work anyways, WDA times out to launch Safari

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.13.0
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium:
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 8
• Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS/12.2
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

XCUITest doesn't like it when -u is set. I don't really know reason for it but it acts weird. We observed this with Real Devices but it might be also happening on Simulators

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]

Just launch Safari using WDA only and you will see the same behaviour. When -u is deleted, everything works well

[imurchie]

Interesting. Hadn't seen this happening on my devices. But the -u option was removed for MobileSafari on 12.2, so it makes sense sort of.

Closing since @imurchie already fixed this issue with appium/appium-xcuitest-driver#953
