Answer 1

You are missing the bundleId value in your capabilities to launch the app.
capabilities: [{
maxInstances: 1,
browserName: '',
appiumVersion: '1.22.0',
platformName: 'iOS',
platformVersion: '14.4',
deviceName: 'iPhone 11 Pro',
automationName: 'XCUITest',
acceptInsecureCerts: true,
appWaitDuration: 20000,
*bundleId*: {value}
}],
Here is a reference on how to obtain the bundleId value
