I’m wanting to continue to use appium-doctor to sanity check my environments, but on windows the

command errors when it cannot find xcode. Is that intentional or can I tell the doctor not to test certain drivers and only check the patient UiAutomation2 driver and Fluttter driver and ignore XCUiTest driver checkup rules for example?

Caveat: I don’t have a Windows machine so can’t test.  
I’m looking at the code for this and I’m seeing that Appium Doctor checks for both platforms are called by default in the Flutter driver:

I would recommend that you file a bug on the github repo I’m citing above, which is the Flutter driver repo.
