Before using Scrcpy.app, you need to setup a ssh server which with android-platform-tools installed.

This ssh server will bridge all traffics from your iPhone to your Android devices, so you need to make sure you can connect to this ssh server from your iPhone over the network.

• Use Mac as SSH Server: Enable "Remote Login" in "System Preferences > Sharing"
• Or use a Docker Container as SSH Server: https://hub.docker.com/search?q=sshd&type=image, just select a container with sshd installed, it recommended to choose ubuntu or debian container because it is easier to install adb tools
• Or using any other Computers with ssh enabled

Or, you can also setup your Android phones with sshd/adb installed via Termux by following instructions:

• Install Termux on your Android https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux/ ;
• Install sshd and adb in Termux: pkg install openssh android-tools;
• Create or change password of current Termux user: passwd;
• Start sshd server with command: sshd;
• Enable Wireless Debug by execute command on your computer: adb tcpip 5555;
• Check device in Termux: adb devices;
• Now, You can connect to your Android with ssh port 8022 and any user;

2. Connect Android devices

adb devices

If your computer has USB port enabled, you can just plug your Android devices in and enable Developer mode, more details you can check https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html#Enabling.
