appium: Appium 1.7.0beta throws No space left on device on iOS Simulator

The problem

We have a large suite of end to end tests (approx. 647) that run sequentially on an iOS simulator - they take around 12 hrs to run. Recently, after updating to Appium 1.7.0beta and Xcode 9, the tests have been running fine for two nights, but last night after 7 hrs of running we started receiving this error: No space left on device

We have 40gb free on our server, so I don’t think we have an issue related to that.

Environment

Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.7.0beta
Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 1.6.4 (maybe even 1.6.5)
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS 10.12.6
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 7.0.0
Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 11.0
Real device or emulator/simulator: iPhone 5s
Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

I’ve ran find /private/var -type f -size +10000k -exec ls -lh {} \;

and it looks that there are some large WebDriver related temp folders folders:
