I also ran into this issue. In my case the issue was: in my appium command I have the browser specified. But for Appium version: >= 1.6, Safari is the default Capability, so we do not need to specify it. After removing it, I did not get this error. My appium command looks like this:

appium -p 4444 --command-timeout 600
