go-ios is a cross-platform, open-source implementation of iOS device automation features written in Go, usable as a CLI or Go library. It enables installing and launching apps, running XCUITests including WebDriverAgent, pairing devices, and managing developer images on Linux, Windows, and macOS without needing a Mac.
Use cases
- install ipa apps on ios devices from linux or windows
- run xcuitest tests on ios devices in ci without a mac
- launch and kill apps on connected iphones
- pair ios devices programmatically without tapping trust popup
- automate ios device testing at scale for device farms
- reverse engineer apple instruments protocols via debug proxy
- set device thermal states and network emulation on iphone
When to choose
- you need to automate iOS devices on Linux or Windows without macOS
- you want a lightweight static binary CLI with JSON output for scripting
- you are building a device farm or CI pipeline for iOS testing
- you need a Go library for talking to iOS devices over usbmuxd
When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off device management and already have a Mac with Xcode
- you need a full GUI-based device management experience
- you require official Apple-supported tooling with guaranteed compatibility
