Hi,
I'm a newbie in appium library. I've tried appium for android in real device and it did work.
But when I try appium in iOs using an emulator device its show an error..

"an unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. original error could not find path to xcode by symlinks located in /var/db/xcode_select_link or /usr/share/xcode-select/xcode_dir_link."

I am using an iOs emulator called Desktop iPhone. anyone know what's that error mean?
I've tried to search in search engine but find no success solution..

this is how I write my test case
${REMOTE_URL}                  http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
${IPA}                        ${CURDIR}/BitbarIOSSample.ipa
Open Application  ${REMOTE_URL}  platformName=iOS    deviceName=Desktop iPhone     app=${IPA}

any help or suggest would be pleasure :)

Looks like you are missing to have XCode installed. I think this is a requirement for Appium with simulator.
You may try to install a smaller package, only for command line, which is `xcode-tools`. For example see: http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/12/install-command-line-tools-mac-os-x/
