We are trying to run automated scripts on multiple iOS devices over WiFi connection. We are able to connect over WiFi from iTunes and sync the device, but, we are not able to detect the device over WiFi with appium. So, seems that appium only works with devices connected through USB cable, is this correct? Does someone knows a way to connect multiple iOS devices over WiFi and send automated tests from aapium? We are able to do that for android with UI Automator and adb over wifi, but not for iOS.

Thanks,

You can't automate multiple iOS devices on single mac.

Yes, seems that the best way to automate on multiple iOS devices is to create multiple VM instances. We will try to have at least 2 devices per VM.

I have been trying to connect my iPad to mac over wifi and run the appium tests. I know how Appium tests works with android devices over wifi, but not how to do it with iOS devices. Please update if any one has worked on how to get it done.

Yes, it will work with devices over wifi, at least with 1 device. We tried one device over wifi and one device with USB in secuence. But we have a while without doing this again.

I connected my iPhone 4(7.1.2) to my Windows which is having latest iTunes.

But after configuring the setting, soon after i disconnect the USB, the device is disappearing in iTunes and unable to Sync.

Though i know iOS with Windows is not supported by Appium, but it should be able to Sync my iPhone with iTunes over Wifi.

Does the specified setting only apply for MAC machine?

It might be possible with Xcode 9 to debug via WiFi.
It's not possible to debug with released Xcode version without USB connection.
What is the reason for such request @Jitu1888?
