@Prashanth what are your current capabilities and what did you try to start Chrome with iOS?

Ps but in general hardly believe that it is possible.

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability(“platformName”, “ios”);
//caps.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “10.2”);
caps.setCapability(“autoWebView”, “true”);
caps.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “11.2.6”);
//caps.setCapability(“deviceName”, “Venkatesh Akula’s iPhone”);
caps.setCapability(“deviceName”, “iPhone”);
//caps.setCapability(“udid”, “783db17940c506b837302cd60ad962b0ea69b366”);
caps.setCapability(“udid”, “e1152b17f4bb8988143094d2d4945829067788f0”);
caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, 6000);
caps.setCapability(“browserName”, “safari”);//
caps.setCapability(“nativeWebTap”,true);
//caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, “Appium”);
caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, “XCUITest”);
driver = new IOSDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), caps);
driver.get(“https://m-fnpplus.fnp.com”);
wait=new WebDriverWait(driver,60);

This is not possible for now. Only Safari is supported on iOS.

Appium iOS do not support chrome just like safari browser. However, You can run your test with chrome on iOS just like any installed application. It is difficult ,slow and challenging but possible.
