I have tried but luck, do you have any reference which you used and it worked.

This is how I made it work on MacOS (but seems same on Windows)… with help from posts Aleksei refernces above.

  1. Run appium. Just default. However you do it. Currently I’m running the MacOS app. I I just run Start Server.
  2. Create config.toml as below. Note I’m running iPhone(simulator) and Android(emulator) and (ftw) also Chrome desktop
  3. Start Selenium
    java -jar selenium-server-4.1.1.jar standalone --config config.toml
  4. Bob’s your uncle

config.toml:
[node]
detect-drivers = false
[[node.driver-configuration]]
display-name = “Chrome”
stereotype = “{“browserName”: “chrome” }”

[relay]
url = "http://localhost:4723/wd/hub"
configs = [
  "1", "{\"browserName\": \"chrome\", \"platformName\": \"android\", \"appium:platformVersion\": \"11\"}",
  "1", "{\"browserName\": \"Safari\", \"platformName\": \"iOS\", \"appium:platformVersion\": \"15.2\"}"
]

And a little java to connect to iPhone:

SafariOptions iphoneOptions = new SafariOptions();
iphoneOptions.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS");
iphoneOptions.setCapability("appium:deviceName", "iPhone 12 Pro Max");
iphoneOptions.setCapability("appium:automationName",  "XCUITest");
iphoneOptions.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "safari");
iphoneOptions.setCapability("appium:platformVersion", "<udid>");		
iphoneOptions.setCapability("safari:useSimulator", true);
iphoneOptions.setCapability("appium:platformVersion", "15.2");

RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver("http://localhost:4444", iphoneOptions);
driver.get("google.com");
