@aish123 is you want run iOS you need MAC OS. no way do it with pure Linux.

ok. So i have to configure everything in MAC OS right?
How can I run the scripts parallely on Android and ios device?

Hi, I am very new ti this technology thats why asking.
Now I developed some scripts with appium + robot framework scripts and tried to run from windows pc to android phone and it ran successfully.

But for ios device if I setup everthing on MAC OS, I can run those scripts , that I understood.
How we can run the robot test scripts to both android and ios device ?

@aish123 parallel run is problem of framework you using. in your case it is “robot framework”.
i suggest ask on their side. you can try also: https://github.com/mkorpela/pabot

Yea Thanks Aleksi , we can use pabot for parallel running

For android : I have to make sure onething, Now I developed appium robotframework scripts and run the script from windows PC seperate.

For ios: I need to setupXcode and webdriver agent everythign on MAC OS then I need to write the scripts and run the scripts from mac os for ios ?

Could you please confirm then I can start with MAC OS configuration

@aish123 it is up to you. you have 2 ways:

run appium and your test script in mac machine
run appium on mac machine. run code on another machine and open driver from it with url pointing to mac machine.

I am unsure if this is the right answer with the framework you are using.
I am currently doing a POC if to use Appium or not, and started with appium studio and intelliJ where I wrote a test for android and iOS each on my Windows machine and it run perfectly when I connected real devices of iOS and Android. I haven’t tried parallel run yet though.
