# libideviceactivation
*A library to manage the activation process of Apple iOS devices.*
## Features
This project provides an interface to activate and deactivate iOS devices by
talking to Apple's webservice alongside a command-line utility named
`ideviceactivation`.
Some key features are:
- **Status:** Implements complete activation and deactivation process
- **Compatibility**: Supports legacy and latest activation webservice APIs
- **Utility:** Provides `ideviceactivation` utility for command-line usage
- **Interactive:** Requests user input if the activation process uses forms
- **Cross-Platform:** Tested on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android platforms
