Is this an issue specifically with Appium Inspector?

@Elanthendral02 did that fix your issue? If not, can you provide another screenshot and/or Appium server log?

[Elanthendral02]

I don't know how appium prefix is not attached near platform name. from appium inspector now its working

Thanks for the confirmation 👍
platformName is a standard W3C capability, so it does not require the appium: prefix. Check the Capabilities documentation for more information.
Please also note that you have a typo in appium:platfromVersion.
Closing as resolved.
