iOS automation in windows

[mega6453]

Hi @danielpaulus
I've tried using "ios-appium-on-linux" in linux and I can able to run iOS automation. But how to do the same in windows OS? I've downloaded the go-ios windows exe file. I've downloaded libimobiledevice windows executables files which has the usbmuxd and all. I tried few ways but nothing didn't work.
Forwarding the port 7777 to 8100 using go-ios.
Started appium from node
Did ios runwda - launched the wda in phone.

Not sure how to make the usbmuxd to work in windows...

Appium throws the following error. Can u help me please?

Interesting that you ask this now. Maybe join the Discord community, we are actually right now discussing bundling the iOS driver and usbmux with go-ios for a more straightforward experience on Windows.
If you can, join us and share your use case with us there so we can figure out how to best solve it

@danielpaulus You have mentioned "there seems to be a bug". May I know which one you are referring to? In go-ios or usbmuxd windows executable?
