Remote XCode connectivity ( like remoteURL for ADB )

[chaooe]

Does it support the remoteUrl function which like android device?
In android devices, i can connect the devices anywhere in the corp network by the remoteUrl. So if the iOS device have proxy the port, so we can use it to connect it anywhere

By "remote url" do you mean "remote debug" to adb connect to a device already connected to STF?

[chaooe]

Yes. Something like the adb connect function. So we can use stf server to manage the devices operation.

This can be done in the following way:

---- Mac Provider ----
Listen on 0.0.0.0:12345 and proxy to /var/run/usbmuxd
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:12345,reuseaddr,fork UNIX-CLIENT:/var/run/usbmuxd

---- Mac Client ----
Move the existing usbmuxd unix domain socket away, and replace it with a TCP proxy.

Move the existing usbmuxd socket away:
sudo mv /var/run/usbmuxd /var/run/usbmuxx

Listen on /var/run/usbmuxd, and proxy requests to :12345
sudo socat -t100 -x -v UNIX-LISTEN:/var/run/usbmuxd,mode=777,reuseaddr,fork TCP:<mac provider ip>:12345

The 'mac provider' portion will be automatically done by coordinator in the near future, and the information passed through to display in the same location it is shown for android devices.

Thanks for your advanced support. I will try it by using your solution.

The latest updates to stf-ios-provider automatically start socat providing usbmuxd on a port. The IP:PORT combination is displayed in the UI in the field where ADB connect information was shown.

The field still shows 'adb connect IP:PORT', which is misleading, but the IP:PORT combination shown can be used to connect using socat as described above.
