@newgen_appium : I would say answer is no and yes both.
No :- Because there is no Xcode available for windows 7 and without xcode you can't use appium for IOS.
Yes :- Workaround is install VMware on windows 7 and install Mac OX on VM and use it for your appium testing for IOS devices.
@newgen_appium, I think here is the best explanation on how to work around it:
How to use the Remote server functionality?
I could gather from this thread that there is no legal way to automate iOS Apps using Appium from Windows Machine. What kind of iOS Apps does it refer to? Does this refer only to native/hybrid apps or to all kinds of Apps?
Can I launch Mobile Safari Browser and automate a Mobile Web App on iPhone connected to a Windows Box with Appium installed in it??
I received the following Error in Appium Console for not being able to locate Xcode when I tried:
[XCUITest] Error: Could not find path to Xcode
Appium Studio has a Community edition which supports the execution and development of test cases on real iOS devices connected to Windows PCs
The tool is free to use and supports native Appium drivers of all platforms

Thank you @tombensim. Can you please tell me if it’s possible to use my already developed test scripts in ruby with this community version of Appium Studio ? Can you please suggest any other ways to edit and reuse test scripts with this Appium Studio ?
