Automatic device IP address discovery is broken

[NickAb]

Device/emulator IP address discovery using GetEndPoint works on emulators, but throws exception when used for device.

Temporarily solved with capability deviceIpAddress which has to be set manually to ip address of device.

We can use IpOverUsb. Details in the link https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-US/OEM/docs/Phone_Testing/Configuring_IP_over_USB

1. Create registry keys to forward ports from device to localhost.
2. Reconnect device
3. Use 127.0.0.1 as device ip address
4. Profit!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IpOverUsb\Winium]
"DestinationAddress"="127.0.0.1"
"DestinationPort"=dword:0000270e
"LocalAddress"="127.0.0.1"
"LocalPort"=dword:0000270e

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\IpOverUsbSdk\Winium]
"DestinationAddress"="127.0.0.1"
"DestinationPort"=dword:0000270e
"LocalAddress"="127.0.0.1"
"LocalPort"=dword:0000270e

Needs further investigation on stability and related issues, but it worked!

This works for Emulator, can you please check if this can be done for Devices aswell

Because I found the IPAddress is dynamic for Devices

If you are using Winium.StoreApps.CodedUi, then try using deviceIpAddress capability set to localhost.

If you are using modified 2gis/winphonedriver the relevant code is at https://github.com/2gis/winphonedriver/blob/master/WindowsPhoneDriver/WindowsPhoneDriver.OuterDriver/CommandExecutors/NewSessionExecutor.cs#L32. It sohlud be replaced with condition IPAddress assigment (always use localhost for devices, use IPAddress as is for emulators).
