A Rust library for interacting with iOS services. Inspired by libimobiledevice and pymobiledevice3, this library interfaces with lockdownd and usbmuxd to perform actions on an iOS device that a Mac normally would.

IMPORTANT: Breaking changes will happen at each point release until 0.2.0.
Pin your Cargo.toml to a specific version to avoid breakage.
This library is in development and research stage. Releases are being published to crates.io for use in other projects, but the API and feature-set are far from final or even planned.
To keep dependency bloat and compile time down, everything is contained in features.
- afc - Apple File Conduit, partial/in-progress support
- core_device_proxy - Start a secure tunnel to access protected services
- debug_proxy - Send GDB commands
- dvt - Developer tools/instruments
- heartbeat - Heartbeat the device
- installation_proxy - Install/manage apps, partial support
- springboardservices - Manage the sprinboard, partial support
- misagent - Manage provisioning profiles
- mobile_image_mounter - Manage the DDI mounted on the device
- location_simulation - Simulate the GPS location
- tcp - Connect to devices over TCP
- tunnel_tcp_stack - Naive software TCP stack for core_device_proxy
- tss - Requests to Apple's TSS servers, partial support
- tunneld - Interface with pymobiledevice3's tunneld
- usbmuxd - Connect to devices over usbmuxd daemon
- xpc - Get protected services over RSD via XPC
- full (all features)
Finish the following:
- lockdown support
- springboard
Implement the following:
- amfi
- companion_proxy
- crash_reports
- diagnostics
- house_arrest
- mobilebackup2
- notification_proxy
- screenshot
- syslog_relay
- webinspector
As this project is done in my free time within my busy schedule, there is no ETA for any of these. Feel free to contribute or donate!
idevice is purposefully verbose to allow for powerful configurations. No size fits all, but effort is made to reduce boilerplate via providers.
// enable the usbmuxd feature
use idevice::{lockdown::LockdowndClient, IdeviceService};
use idevice::usbmuxd::{UsbmuxdAddr, UsbmuxdConnection},
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// usbmuxd is Apple's daemon for connecting to devices over USB.
// We'll ask usbmuxd for a device
let mut usbmuxd = UsbmuxdConnection::default()
.await
.expect("Unable to connect to usbmxud")
let devs = usbmuxd.get_devices().unwrap();
if devs.is_empty() {
eprintln!("No devices connected!");
return;
}
// Create a provider to automatically create connections to the device.
// Many services require opening multiple connections to get where you want.
let provider = devs[0].to_provider(UsbmuxdAddr::from_env_var().unwrap(), 0, "example-program")
// ``connect`` takes an object with the provider trait
let mut lockdown_client = match LockdowndClient::connect(&provider).await {
Ok(l) => l,
Err(e) => {
eprintln!("Unable to connect to lockdown: {e:?}");
return;
}
};
println!("{:?}", lockdown_client.get_value("ProductVersion").await);
println!(
"{:?}",
lockdown_client
.start_session(
&provider
.get_pairing_file()
.await
.expect("failed to get pairing file")
)
.await
);
println!("{:?}", lockdown_client.idevice.get_type().await.unwrap());
println!("{:#?}", lockdown_client.get_all_values().await);
}More examples are in the tools crate and in the crate documentation.
For use in other languages, a small FFI crate has been created to start exposing idevice. Example C programs can be found in this repository.
As Apple prohibits downgrading to older versions, this library will not keep compatibility for older versions than the current stable release.
