Instructions don't work for windows 10 out of box

[joeyhub]

The instructions here don't work for windows 10, though in general dependencies are missing:

• Where does npm come from?
• Where does remotedebug_ios_webkit_adapter come from?

After installing everything:

iosAdapter.getTargets

error.iosAdapter.getTargets.getDeviceVersion.failed.fallback, device=[object Object]

While there's a lengthy discussion on this in the issue in another ticket, there's no obvious simple solution.

It would be really nice if it gave a more meaningful error message for the above. Did it manage to find a device but couldn't read it's version (could list it but not read it)?

As a new user also on Windows 10, I was also having issues. However, I realized that my issue was actually related to a recent iOS upgrade on my iPad (see #138). My main iPad is running 12.2 but I tested this on another iPad running 12.1.4 with the exact same computer and it works, so give that a shot to see if it helps.

p.s. I think those errors that you're seeing are normal, see #79 (comment) on that. I was still getting those even after I got it working. But I agree, that's not very useful in this scenario at all.
