ios-core

High-level Rust API for discovering, pairing, connecting to, and controlling iOS devices.

This is a library crate in the rust-ios-device workspace.

Highlights

• Device discovery and connection orchestration across usbmuxd, lockdown, tunnel, and XPC layers.
• Pairing, tunnel startup, and service helpers suitable for applications and tools.
• Convenience API used by the CLI, FFI, and Python bindings.

Install

[dependencies]
ios-core = "0.1.5"

The crate has no default service features. Enable only the service clients you need:

ios-core = { version = "0.1.5", features = ["afc", "syslog"] }

Use grouped features such as classic, developer, management, ios17, or full for broader tools.

Example

use ios_core::{ConnectOptions, list_devices};

# async fn run() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let devices = list_devices().await?;
println!("found {} device(s)", devices.len());

if let Some(device) = devices.first() {
    let connected = ios_core::connect(&device.udid, ConnectOptions::default()).await?;
    println!("connected to {}", connected.info.udid);
}
# Ok(())
# }
