Welcome 👋

npm install -g go-ios can be used to get going. Run ios --help after the installation for details. For iOS 17+ devices you need to run sudo ios tunnel start for go ios to work. This will start a tunnel daemon. To make this work on Windows, download the latest wintun.dll from here https://git.zx2c4.com/wintun and copy it to C:/Windows/system32

The goal of this project is to provide a stable and production ready opensource solution to automate iOS device on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. I am delighted to announce that a few companies including headspin.io and Sauce Labs will use or are using go-iOS.

Follow my twitter for updates or check out my medium blog: https://daniel-paulus.medium.com/

If you are interested in using go-iOS please get in touch on LinkedIn, Twitter or the Github discussions above, I always love to hear what people are doing with it.

If you miss something your Mac can do but go-iOS can't, just request a feature in the issues tab.

New REST-API

Go-iOS is getting an experimental REST-API check it out https://github.com/danielpaulus/go-ios/tree/main/restapi

Design principles:

1. Using golang to compile static, small and fast binaries for all platforms very easily.

   Build Manual: Install golang and run go build

2. All output as JSON so you can easily use go-iOS from any other programming language

3. Everything is a module, you can use go-iOS in golang projects as a module dependency easily

Features:

Most notable:

• Install apps zipped as ipa or unzipped from their .app folder ios install --path=/path/to/app
• Run XCTests including WebdriverAgent on Linux, Windows and Mac
• Start and Stop apps
• Use a debug proxy to reverse engineer every tool Mac OSX has, so you can contrib to go-ios or build your own
• Pair devices without manual tapping on a popup
• Install developer images automatically by running ios image auto
• Set thermal states and network emulation on the device with the ios devicestate command

All features:

Options:
  -v --verbose   Enable Debug Logging.
  -t --trace     Enable Trace Logging (dump every message).
  --nojson       Disable JSON output (default).
  -h --help      Show this screen.
  --udid=<udid>  UDID of the device.

The commands work as following:
	The default output of all commands is JSON. Should you prefer human readable outout, specify the --nojson option with your command.
	By default, the first device found will be used for a command unless you specify a --udid=some_udid switch.
	Specify -v for debug logging and -t for dumping every message.
