ITunes for windows now ships without Apple Application Support making it impossible to run on ios from windows

Environment
Nativescript globally installed: 6.5.0

Describe the bug
Setting up nativescript cloud builds on a new machine is impossible as Itunes for windows download no longer includes Apple Application Support. Apple Application Support is required to use commands tns run ios or tns device. If it is not installed it gives the error "ITunes is not installed, please install itunes and try again"

To Reproduce
Download ITunes fresh from apple website
tns device

Expected behavior
connected device is listed, or message saying no connected devices

Additional context
I have tried older downloads of itunes from the apple website. No 64 bit ones are available (some of the ones listed at 64 bit are not 64 bit). The most recent version does not include Apple Application Support - this has been verified by using 7zip to extract files from the installer - no msi installer is provided for Apple Application Support. In essence, it is impossible to developer for ios on windows unless itunes was already installed back when it included Apple Application Support, or find a link to an old installer

Files for Apple Application Support would typically be found in C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple. This is where the ITunesValidator looks for it.

Inizia con ITunesValidator e la relativa ricerca in C\Program Files\Common Files\Apple, quindi riproduci tns device dopo una nuova installazione di iTunes. Il completamento dovrebbe coprire il caso di Apple Application Support mancante rilevando le installazioni supportate oppure segnalando chiaramente quando non sono disponibili dispositivi connessi.
