Libraries Appium

I am using Appiumlibrary version 2.1.0 and robotframework version 7.0.1. I am getting the error even after explicitly passing the platform name.

*** Settings ***
Library  AppiumLibrary

*** Variables ***

${REMOTE_URL}           mobile-hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub

*** Keywords ***

Open test app
    ${REMOTE_URL}=   Set Variable       https://${LT_USERNAME}:${LT_ACCESS_KEY}@${REMOTE_URL}

    Open Application	${REMOTE_URL}    platformName=ios  platformVersion=${platformVersion}

*** Test Cases ***

Open test app

WebDriverException: Message: platform name is missing in the capabilities

How to resolve this?

Also, maybe you should be consistent with spacing, always four spaces. I see two spaces.
