Hi @erdncyz

Tried this command appium plugin run device-farm reset, but getting same error

Did you open develeoper mode on your devices ? ı think that this issue deal with your devices or your devices connection.

[VyshnaviNagaruru]

Developer Options are enabled and able to perform execution with appium.
Issue is observed only when appium server started with appium device farm plugin. Unable to create session from appium device farm local host.
