iOS script development โ tech selectionโ
iOS USB editionโ
| Solution type | System requirements | Cost | Advantages | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software: standalone main-app mode | iOS 15+, no jailbreak | IPA signing fee + software license (TrollStore can avoid signing fees) | Full feature set; use directly after signing; custom IME supported; game consoles supported; free personal Apple ID signing via i4Tools/sideloadly also works | โ |
| Software: proxy IPA mode | iOS 13+, no jailbreak | IPA signing fee + software license (TrollStore can avoid signing fees) | Rich features; use directly after signing; no extra setup | โ |
| Software: AI Agent | Control Center 10.1.0+; PC required | USB device license + LLM tokens (chat/authoring) Running workflows does not consume chat tokens | Little or no code: Chinese chat, drag-and-drop workflows, multi-device batch | Requires USB device license (not screen license); configure proxy IPA or BLE/OTG per steps โ AI Agent handbook |
| Hardware: Bluetooth + non-automation screenshots | iOS 17+ No jailbreak | BLE dev board + software license | Lower risk control | Requires BLE setup, upload-image Shortcuts, etc.; more tedious โ USB BLE tutorial |
| Hardware: OTG + non-automation screenshots | iOS 17+ No jailbreak | OTG dev board + adapter + software license | No signal interference; lower risk control | Requires upload-image Shortcuts, etc.; more tedious โ USB OTG-HID tutorial |
Pick a path by target app (heuristic, same as Android)
- Mainland China apps (WeChat / QQ / Taobao / Douyin / Xiaohongshu, etc.): hardware is usually best โ lowest risk control. For iOS USB, prefer BLE; USB OTG setup is tedious and not recommended; when OTG is needed, prefer standalone + OTG/BLE.
- Overseas apps (TikTok / Facebook / Instagram, etc.): try proxy IPA or AI Agent first; switch to hardware if risk control tightens (same: USB โ BLE; OTG โ standalone combo). Not sure? Use the interactive selector: Tech selector
/selector.
iOS standalone editionโ
| Solution type | System requirements | Cost | Advantages | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Software: main app | iOS 15+ | Signing fee + software license (TrollStore can avoid signing fees) | Single-app setup; fast; only one IPA to sign | โ |
| Software: main app + proxy IPA mode | iOS 15+ | Signing fee + software license (TrollStore can avoid signing fees) | Two apps in separate processes; auto-recovery if automation service dies; supports unattended operation | โ |
| Hardware: main app + BLE | iOS 17+ | BLE dev board + software license (main app signing can use TrollStore to avoid fees) | Comparable to software options | โ BLE getting started |
| Hardware: main app + OTG | iOS 17+ | OTG adapter + dev board + software license (main app signing can use TrollStore to avoid fees) | Simpler and more stable than BLE; lower risk control | โ OTG HID getting started |

Selection tips
- Most workloads: default connection (USB or WiFi wireless debugging) is enough.
- For flexible hardware taps / key injection, or combining with existing HID: USB BLE. Not sure? Use the interactive selector: Tech selector
