It is inspired by the existing [Application Exerciser Monkey for Android](https://developer.android.com/studio/test/other-testing-tools/monkey).\n\nUnfortunately, there currently exist no other tools for the automated instrumentation of *arbitrary* iOS apps, including those that you don't develop yourself.\n\n## Getting started\n\nInstall and run this project with the Arduino IDE on an ESP32 microcontroller. You need to also install the [ESP32-BLE-Keyboard library](https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard) and the [Bluetooth Nimble Library](https://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard#how-to-activate-nimble-mode).\n\nConnect the ESP32 then to a *jailbroken* iPhone. Make sure you enable Full Keyboard Access. The iPhone must run [Frida](https://frida.re), [`open` for iOS 11+](http://cydia.saurik.com/package/com.clarkecdc.open/), and be set up for SSH access on port 2222 (e.g. with [`iproxy`](https://iphonedev.wiki/index.php/SSH_Over_USB)).\n\nOnce that's done, you can start the testing by running `python monitor.py [bundleId of iOS app] [serial ESP32 controller]`.\n\n*Tested only with iOS 14.2 and the [checkra1n](https://checkra.in) jailbreak.*\n\n## Credits\n- ESP32-BLE-Keyboard: \u003chttps://github.com/T-vK/ESP32-BLE-Keyboard\u003e\n- Open for iOS 11+: \u003chttp://cydia.saurik.com/package/com.clarkecdc.open/\u003e\n- Frida: \u003chttps://frida.re\u003e","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftrackercontrol%2Fios_monkey","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftrackercontrol%2Fios_monkey","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftrackercontrol%2Fios_monkey/lists"}
