Go-iOS

Welcome 👋

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 will use or are using go-iOS. If you are interested in controlling iOS devices, please also check out https://github.com/nanoscopic/controlfloor written by my good friend @nanoscopic

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.

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 form 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:
