Appium can automate iOS device tests via WebDriverAgent.

WebDriverAgent can be run through multiple open source multi-platform tools from Windows:

  1. go-ios
  2. tidevice
  3. others...

You will need Xcode to first build WDA though before you can deploy it to a device. Once it is installed on the device ( until the signing expires at least ) you can run WDA from any OS ( Mac, Windows, Linux ) using the various tools.

No you can't automate any iOS scripts from windows system . The main requirement for iOSDriver to communicate with appium scripts and to your iOS device requires xcode app . Which is not there onto windows .

You can't set up everything you need on Windows for iOS device. Instead you need to use macOS.

Maybe the answers here would be helpful.
