An AI-friendly iOS/iPadOS automation service. Tell your agent "My iPhone is running iCTRL at :8200 — figure out how to drive it." and it reads the on-device manual and takes it from there. Works with any agent that can make HTTP requests: OpenClaw, Hermes, Minis, Claude Code, Codex and others.

File What it is
iCTRLUITests-Runner.ipa The automation engine — required.
iCTRL.ipa Optional host app: mounts the Developer Disk Image on the device and starts the runner. Use it or StikDebug.

Both are unsigned for distribution (ad-hoc, no provisioning profile). Sign them when you install:

  • Free Apple ID: the latest SideStore signs and installs them. Older SideStore releases skip the nested .xctest, and the runner then crashes on launch.
  • Paid account: Scripts/sign-ipa.sh -i iCTRLUITests-Runner.ipa

The runner also needs the Developer Disk Image mounted (Xcode, StikDebug or the iCTRL app). The README covers the whole setup.

Highlights since 1.32.0

  • Settle-aware actions: taps, scrolls, typing and open_url wait until the screen stops changing and report what changed, ignoring motion the action didn't cause (running animations, video, Picture-in-Picture).
  • Bounded accessibility work: element lookups and taps by ref use capped tree walks, so slow or busy apps can no longer stall the UI queue.
  • Reading screens: collect reads a long list in one call and switches to OCR when the tree is thin; page_source enhanced:true adds text drawn in images.
  • Screen-state flags: system alerts, overlays, loading indicators, login walls, anti-bot checks and promotional popups are reported with each read; refs refuse to act on a screen that has changed.
  • Smoother remote control page (GET /remote): screen capture is several times faster, the stream plays with low latency up to 30 fps, and the page supports horizontal swipes, long press, and right-click for Home.
  • Runner home-screen icon.
  • iCTRL app: mounts the cryptex Developer Disk Image on iOS 26.4 and later, detects the LocalDevVPN tunnel by actually connecting through it, and checks network permissions on first launch.
