Hi,

I have created test cases in appiun studio and copy code in c#.  
Now I want to start the server before running the tests. How to start server in appium studio?  
I want to run iOS test cases from windows machine on iOS device.

note:- I am very new user for appiun studio. Any help is greatly appreciated.
