Netimobiledevice is a pure C# implementation for working with iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod).
To install Netimobiledevice, you can use the following command in the Package Manager Console:
Install-Package NetimobiledeviceAlternatively, you can use the .NET CLI:
dotnet add package NetimobiledeviceA few examples of how to use Netimobiledevice are below.
Get a list of all currently connected devices using:
using Netimobiledevice.Usbmuxd;
List<UsbmuxdDevice> devices = Usbmux.GetDeviceList();
Console.WriteLine($"There's {devices.Count} devices connected");
foreach (UsbmuxdDevice device in devices) {
Console.WriteLine($"Device found: {device.DeviceId} - {device.Serial}");
}Listen to connection events:
Usbmux.Subscribe(SubscriptionCallback);
private static void SubscriptionCallback(UsbmuxdDevice device, UsbmuxdConnectionEventType connectionEvent)
{
Console.WriteLine("NewCallbackExecuted");
Console.WriteLine($"Connection event: {connectionEvent}");
Console.WriteLine($"Device: {device.DeviceId} - {device.Serial}");
}Get the app icon displayed on the home screen as a PNG:
using (UsbmuxLockdownClient lockdown = MobileDevice.CreateUsingUsbmux("60653a518d33eb53b3ca2322de3f44e162a42069"))
{
SpringBoardServicesService springBoard = new SpringBoardServicesService(lockdown);
PropertyNode png = springBoard.GetIconPNGData("net.whatsapp.WhatsApp");
}Create an iTunes backup:
using (UsbmuxLockdownClient lockdown = MobileDevice.CreateUsingUsbmux("60653a518d33eb53b3ca2322de3f44e162a42069")) {
using (DeviceBackup backupJob = new DeviceBackup(lockdown, @"C:\Users\User\Downloads")) {
backupJob.BeforeReceivingFile += BackupJob_BeforeReceivingFile;
backupJob.Completed += BackupJob_Completed;
backupJob.Error += BackupJob_Error;
backupJob.FileReceived += BackupJob_FileReceived;
backupJob.FileReceiving += BackupJob_FileReceiving;
backupJob.FileTransferError += BackupJob_FileTransferError;
backupJob.PasscodeRequiredForBackup += BackupJob_PasscodeRequiredForBackup;
backupJob.Progress += BackupJob_Progress;
backupJob.Status += BackupJob_Status;
backupJob.Started += BackupJob_Started;
await backupJob.Start();
}
}Pair an iOS device asyncronously:
using (UsbmuxLockdownClient lockdown = MobileDevice.CreateUsingUsbmux(testDevice?.Serial ?? string.Empty)) {
Progress<PairingState> progress = new();
progress.ProgressChanged += Progress_ProgressChanged;
await lockdown.PairAsync(progress);
}
private void Progress_ProgressChanged(object? sender, PairingState e)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Pair Progress Changed: {e}");
}Get structured logging information using the logger of your choice (provided it can interact with Microsoft.Extentions.Logging ILogger):
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using ILoggerFactory factory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder => builder.SetMinimumLevel(LogLevel.Debug).AddConsole());
using (LockdownClient lockdown = MobileDevice.CreateUsingUsbmux(testDevice?.Serial ?? string.Empty, logger: factory.CreateLogger("Netimobiledevice"))) {
using (DeviceBackup backupJob = new DeviceBackup(lockdown, path)) {
await backupJob.Start(tokenSource.Token);
}
