pymobiledevice3 amfi¶
Manage Developer Mode and trust of developer app signers (AMFI).
reveal-developer-mode¶
Show the Developer Mode toggle in Settings > Privacy & Security.
Only reveals the switch; it does not turn Developer Mode on.
Options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--native |
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.
enable-developer-mode¶
Enable Developer Mode (restarts the device).
Does nothing if Developer Mode is already on. Otherwise the device restarts; this command waits for it to reconnect and confirms the post-restart prompt for you. Fails if the device has a passcode set: in that case enable it manually in Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode.
