Since Appium will be automatically building the WDA app, we need to install Carthage so it is available to the WDA bootstrap process. WDA itself requires an iOS dependency manager called Carthage. These applications weren't built to easily allow programmatic use, which is why Appium uses libimobiledevice for certain operations.Р”Р„ppium also uses a package called ios-deploy for transferring iOS apps onto your device, so let's install that too. The only official applications made by Apple for communicating with iOS devices are Xcode and iTunes. Next we will install libimobiledevice, an open source package which is able to communicate with iOS devices. (You will need to accept the End User License Agreement and may have to click a button to 'install additional components'). Next let's launch Xcode in case it hasn't been launched before.

It's a tutorial on getting started from scratch, authored by Appium contributor Jonah Stiennon. This is the first in a 2-part series on using real iOS devices with Appium.
