Hi
Do you have to start from the scratch as far as appium goes or do you have some sort of exp with automating Android with appium...The case being, if you want to learn Appium nothing is better than the docs present in
appium.io site. Now if is it for setup of Appium for iOS.. the following steps needs to be followed
1) First thing is mac is required to automate on ios.
2) Second is even if you have a mac you need to have dev credentials to install ios app on ipad which is done through xcode(and xcode is available only on mac). It's not that like you cannot install apps on ipad without xcode, you can do it without xcode but for automation purposes and to run automation on real devices you need to have dev creds or the dev's needs to provide the same for automation. Now if you have mac and no dev creds still you can run the automation scripts on ipad simulators which are loaded automatically when xode is run app is installed on the simulator by xcode itself.
Do you have mac, dev creds/ no dev creds, app code.
If it is only for demo purpose then also u need to have mac(cause running macos on a Vmware's vm is not advisable though as it makes the system very slow)...
Thanks
