Amolith on Nostr: I need to remotely control an iOS device with *something* like one might remotely ...
I need to remotely control an iOS device with *something* like one might remotely control a PC with Teamviewer.
As far as I can tell, that *something* just doesn't exist.
Is that accurate or have I just missed some super obvious solution
This client is technologically illiterate and moving to Spain for a couple of months; he wants us to do things on his iPhone in Spain from the US.
We're looking at building a super jank contraption so he can set his phone in it, plug in a cable, and go away. There will be a webcam pointing down at the phone so we can see the screen (no third-party screen recording on iOS) and the cable he plugs in will emulate a mouse and keyboard. We'll VNC into the Pi and a Python (
) script will capture mouse movements/keystrokes and relay those to the iPhone.
I really don't want to build this shit if something already exists. Please tell me I'm dumb and point me to something that already exists.
