iOS 17 support

[Schlaubischlump]

Description

Since iOS 17 Apple changed how the developer functions, such as taking a screenshot, launching apps and location simulation are accessed. IDB currently doesn't seem to support these changes.

Reproduction

Try to use any of the functions mentioned above on an iOS 17 device.

Solution

To my knowledge two steps are required to support iOS 17.

1. IDB must support mounting personalized developer disk images on iOS devices.
2. IDB must use CoreDevice instead of MobileDevice to access developer functionality on iOS 17.

Additional Information

Are there any plans to support iOS 17 ?

is there any solution? still faceing the same problem

There has been a fix for this issue, however it doesn't seem to have found it's way into a release yet:

We managed to compile the project, but we are not sure how to tell the python idb client to use the freshly compiled idb-companion binary.
Any ideas out there? Couldn't find any documentation on it.

It seems that idb launch and idb install don't work on iOS 17 devices. Luckily, xcrun devicectl does work on iOS 17 and it has launch and install commands.

xcrun devicectl device process launch --device <udid> com.apple.camera

Hi @ellishg thank you it really works! By the way, do you know how to terminate apps using devicectl?

[stoefln]

@fatahillahardhi there is a way, but you need to first figure out the process ID of the running process.
Here is an implementation that does that: https://github.com/appium/appium-xcuitest-driver/pull/1997/files#diff-bb0c8b8277b395d5bb9d3326ef4bacc41134fe47236c6e883d6ef720ef3d7195R231
