Installation

To install Netimobiledevice, you can use the following command in the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package Netimobiledevice

Alternatively, you can use the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Netimobiledevice

Usage

A 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:

LockdownClient lockdown = LockdownClient.CreateLockdownClient("60653a518d33eb53b3ca2212cd1f44e162a42069");
SpringBoardServicesService springBoard = new SpringBoardServicesService(lockdown);
PropertyNode png = springBoard.GetIconPNGData("net.whatsapp.WhatsApp");

This library was based on the following repositories with either some refactoring or in the case of libraries such as libusbmuxd translating from C to C#.

• BitConverter: Provides a big-endian and little-endian BitConverter that convert base data types to an array of bytes, and an array of bytes to base data types, regardless of machine architecture.
• libusbmuxd: A client library for applications to handle usbmux protocol connections with iOS devices.
• PList-Net: .Net Library for working with Apple *.plist Files.
• pymobiledevice3: A pure python3 implementation to work with iOS devices.
