pymobiledevice3

A majority of the heavy lifting for changing the device location is generously provided by pymobiledevice3. Any problems related to pymobiledevice3 should be dealt with there.

Installation

To get started, make sure you have Python 3 installed. Then follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alexdalat/ios-virtual-loc.git
   cd ios-virtual-loc

2. Set up a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv env
   source env/bin/activate

3. Install required libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Installing pymobiledevice3. Follow the instructions here to activate developer mode on iOS.

Usage

1. Run the main script, it will prompt for sudo access:

   python main.py

   The following:

   ios-virtual-loc/TunnelService.py

   Line 27 in d4caf7d

   ["sudo", "python3", "-m", "pymobiledevice3", "remote", "tunneld"],

   is the only sudo command being executed.

2. Visit the URL displayed in the console (usually http://127.0.0.1:5432) in your browser.

3. Double-click to change the device location. The iOS device is blue and the laptop (if available) appears in red. The rest is self-explanatory.
