I'm able setup and use remote control for iOS device base on this repository. BUT now have a limitation is ONLY support 5 iOS devices.

Could you give me where can I update number of control device?

nanoscopic commented 1 year ago

There is no restriction ( in the code itself ) on the number of devices that are supported by this.

Realistically it won't work with more than 5 devices connected to a single provider machine.

Even worse, it cannot realistically stream video simultaneously from more than 2 devices per provider.

The reason for the 2 device limitation is that the way stf_ios_support works it decodes video and re-encodes to frames on the provider.

The reason for the 5 device "limitation" is bugs within Apple usbmuxd code. If a Linux machine is used as the provider this limitation goes away.

So, what is necessary if the "5 device limitation" is to be "removed" is to:

  1. Not use MacOS as a provider ( use Linux )
  2. Change the video to use a video app like ControlFloor does

Hi @nanoscopic , currently performance of each IOS device a bit laggy. Will controllfloor improve them ? One issue detected: If we not start quick time player first, devices will appeared on stf after run ./run command

NguyenHoangDuy2406 commented 1 year ago

Hi @nanoscopic Nice to see your reply. So I understand the root cause of it.

I just want to make clear more details:

Many thanks about contribute this great repository, @nanoscopic

@Sin-Nguyen @tuyenlq

Sorry for late reply, I'm too busy with my company now. If you're facing any config problem, please let me know

Sin-Nguyen commented 1 year ago

Hi @NguyenHoangDuy2406
The controlfloor will working with new ios version and latest wda ?

I think it out date for a long time

NguyenHoangDuy2406 commented 1 year ago

@Sin-Nguyen for case new wda (it's mean new iOS version), we should download the new wda from appium repo, then copy it into stf_ios_support, then build it again, we will get the build of new iOS version.

And one more thing when handling the wda version, please remember the tips also: please clone the wda build in /bin/wda > then update the version of it into the latest or specific version that device connected

@NguyenHoangDuy2406 Hello NguyenHoangDuy2406, I noticed that you have successfully connected iOS devices to openSTF, and I'm reaching out for some guidance. Though we haven't met, your expertise in this area is something I'm keen to learn from. Could you please share how you configured iOS devices on Provider A and Android devices on Provider B? I'm particularly interested in understanding if these are integrated with a server to be displayed on a single dashboard. Additionally, I would be grateful if you could provide details about the setup process for Provider A with iOS, including how it's connected to the server. Your insights on this would be incredibly valuable. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am using Mac OS Samoa in Mac mini M2. While running make run I am getting below given error. Any resolution?

NguyenHoangDuy2406 commented 9 months ago

@Jitu1888 do you try build wda via xcode manually on your device first? is it built successfully? Because I saw the iOS version is 17.1.1 (latest). For this situation, whenever have new major iOS version, please following the steps below:

@volvoeacs you can download manually the repo WebDriverAgent from appium and comment out it in make file one more thing that the last time I tried deploy it on Mac with Apple Silicon BUT no luck. Now my server only work on Mac with Intel.
