appium ios got slower

[jlipps]

anecdotally, running a sequence of ios tests just got a bunch slower. I notice a big pause between these lines:

info: [INSTSERVER] Instruments exited with code 0
info: Deleting plists for bundle: com.example.apple-samplecode.UICatalog
info: [INSTSERVER] Socket closed forcibly due to exit
info: [INSTSERVER] Instruments socket server closed
info: Deleted tracedir we heard about from instruments (/Users/jlipps/Code/appium-jlipps/instrumentscli0.trace)

and these lines:

info: No plist files found to remove
info: Clearing out appium devices

in the logs. What's going on here? What changed?

I don't recall any iOS changes that would slow testing.

The slowness is here (ios.js:397):

glob("/Users/" + user + "/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/**/" +
       this.bundleId + "*.plist", {}, function(err, files) {

Looks like looking for all the plists takes a long time.

If the path is more specific, then that might help?

/Users/ + user + /Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/6.1/Applications/**

Nice fix.
