May I know how can we test iOS devices on Windows with Oxygen please?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

You can’t test iOS on Windows using Appium because you need Apple SDK installed since Appium is using Apple’s SDK XCUITest technology and you know for that you just need Mac, MacOS, Apple developer account and that’s it.
I’m not joking http://appium.io/docs/en/drivers/ios-uiautomation/.
Same is for Android you need Android SDK since Appium is using UIAutomator from Google.

Thanks Luka for your reply.
According to https://experitest.com/appium/appium-open-source-compare/ it says Oxygen supports IOS on Windows; which lead me here; and also http://docs.oxygenhq.org/ says Oxygen supports iOS - Native, Hybrid, and Web.
As per @Luka_Mlikota comment iOS (whether it’s a native iOS application, hybrid, or web) is only supported on OS X. Unfortunately there is not much we can do about it at the moment, since those limitations are set by Apple.
We will update our documentation to reflect that.

There might be a solution in the future
It is planned to be connecting Oxygen to cloud services that contain Apple devices
If we do that it should enable you to execute a Appium mobile test case on windows.
One thing: it will be through the cloud service and that is not free (the cloud service will charge for that)
A current solution is to use Cloudbeat platform that connects already to a cloud service like shown in this film
