macOS only: reach the iOS 17+ tunnel by piggybacking Apple's own remoted tunnel via the remotepairingd service. NO root, no entitlement, no Xcode. Rides Apple's kernel-routable tunnel, so throughput matches the kernel tunnel, but the device keeps a single RSD connection on it: remoted and this process evict each other's, which can reset connections and leave Xcode/devicectl without the device until remoted reconnects. Mutually exclusive with --rsd/--tunnel/--userspace. [env var: PYMOBILEDEVICE3_NATIVE] |
Accepts the connection options: --rsd, --tunnel, --userspace, --mobdev2, --usbmux, --udid.
