Can't get test connecting to local appium server

[alaz-aura]

conf.codecept.js

helpers: {
    Appium: {
      appiumv2: true,
      app: 'path/to/ipa',
      platformName: 'iOS',
      deviceName: 'iPhone 14',
      udid: 'EFD167BF-800F-4CE7-B88F-808AE1B56D98',
      automationName: 'XCUITest',
      hostname: '0.0.0.0',
      port: 4723,
      path: "/wd/hub"
    }

test output:

2023-12-05T04:48:10.502Z ERROR webdriver: Request failed with status 404 due to unknown command: The requested resource could not be found, or a request was received using an HTTP method that is not supported by the mapped resource

Please make sure Selenium Server is running and accessible

Running in circles here for something so basic. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

So some progress has been made.

using appium desktop inspector I can succesfully launch a session with an app using the following:

{
  "appium:deviceName": "iPhone 14",
  "appium:automationName": "xcuitest",
  "appium:bundleId": "appBundleIdHere",
  "appium:platformName": "iOS"
}

However, I cannot replicate this successfully in codeceptjs. Here is my latest config:

helpers: {
    Appium: {
      appiumv2: true,
      "appium:deviceName": "iPhone 14",
      "appium:automationName": "xcuitest",
      "appium:bundleId": "appBundleIdHere",
      "appium:platformName": "iOS",
      hostname: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 4723,
      path: "/"
    },
  },

error:

Could not load helper Appium from module './helper/Appium':

        Appium requires either platform and app or a browser to be set.
        Check your codeceptjs config file to ensure these are set properly

                "platform": "MOBILE_OS",
              }
            }
          }

                "platform": "MOBILE_OS",
              }
            }
          }

Resolved this by finally narrowing down my issue. Below is a working appium helper config:

Before

    Appium: {
      appiumv2: true,
      "appium:deviceName": "iPhone 14",
      "appium:automationName": "xcuitest",
      "appium:bundleId": "appBundleIdHere",
      "appium:platformName": "iOS",
      hostname: '127.0.0.1',
      port: 4723,
      path: "/"
    },
  },

Working helper config:

Appium: {
      "platform": "iOS",
      "desiredCapabilities": {
        "appium:udid": "EFD167BF-800F-4CE7-B88F-808AE1B56D98",
        "appium:bundleId": "com.thisisaura.auraPlatform",
        "appium:automationName": "xcuitest",
      },
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 4723,
      path: "/",
    }
