Can iOS be based on Windows?

[Jevell]

It is possible to run Android on Windows, but currently running iOS on Windows only allows you to see the connected device without any further functionality. This is because iOS typically requires macOS to run properly.

Hi.
See #195

[Jevell]

Hello, thank you. Let me take a look at this article first. Also, I have a question - is there a reason why my iOS device is often not detected?

[Jevell]

Unable to find iOS devices when searching for devices in the device list, while there are no issues detecting Android devices. At the beginning, the iOS device was detectable but not anymore. Are there any other possible reasons for this? Could there be conflicts with other installed drivers?

iOS support was always experimental. It has never been completed properly.
Sometimes is helps to reconnect the devices. I used https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl to do it programmatically.

Since I don't use Windows, I never tried tidevice or anything from #195. I guess drivers conflict is possible, but I don't really know.

Thank you very much. I was able to transfer and operate iOS device video streams by modifying the tidevice and enabling WDA. I have another question to ask: the video transmission through MJPEG is a bit jerky, is there any way to increase the frame rate?

I found two configuration files that can be modified: "src\app\player\BasePlayer.ts" and "src\app\applDevice\client\WdaProxyClient.ts". Should I modify the frame rate in WdaProxyClient.ts or is there another file I should modify?

You can set framerate, scaling factor and sreenshot quality from the UI (in three dots)

ws-scrcpy/src/app/applDevice/toolbox/ApplMjpegMoreBox.ts

Lines 49 to 72 in ee87ba6

	// FIXME: scaling factor changes are not handled
	scalingWrapper.style.display = 'none';
	this.scalingFactorInput = scalingFactorInput;
	const qualityLabel = document.createElement('label');
	qualityLabel.innerText = 'Quality:';
	const qualityInput = document.createElement('input');
	qualityInput.placeholder = `1 .. 100`;
	qualityInput.value = `${defaultOptions.mjpegServerScreenshotQuality}`;
	ApplMjpegMoreBox.wrap('div', [qualityLabel, qualityInput], innerDiv);
	this.qualityInput = qualityInput;
	innerDiv.appendChild(btn);
	btn.innerText = text;
	btn.onclick = () => {
	const mjpegServerFramerate = parseInt(this.framerateInput.value, 10);
	const mjpegScalingFactor = parseInt(this.scalingFactorInput.value, 10);
	const mjpegServerScreenshotQuality = parseInt(this.qualityInput.value, 10);
	const options: MjpegServerOptions = {
	mjpegServerFramerate,
	mjpegScalingFactor,
	mjpegServerScreenshotQuality,
	};
	wdaConnection.setMjpegServerOptions(options);
	};
