iPhone remote access without confirmation

[DMYL]

Hello everyone,

I hope I am in the right forum area for this.
I've been browsing the internet + this forum with no progress so far.
Is there a way to remote access iPhones (in my case 6/7/8) without the confirmation of the phone, while being locked?

I am looking for a solution, so VAs can log into the phones without me constantly unlocking and confirming their access.

Appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance !

Apple seems to be pretty strict about remote access. Maybe you could try using iCloud and Home Sharing.

you have to try SSH clients for remote connection, like mRemoteNG, JuiceSSH

I am pretty sure your device needs to be jailbroken. Apple does not give a way to circumvent that confirmation out of the box in iOS. If it would be possible, it would be an option in teamviewer, anydesk or all those other remote apps that are available in the appstore.

This is true.

Except you are the creator of the app to be controlled, then you can use some Xcode tools for this.

But wouldn't you need that jailbreak anyway because you would not be able to publish an app with such a "backdoor" in the appstore?

pretty sure it needs jailbreak, even if jailbroken, I don't think you can do that. You can try building a farm with the phones unlocked and screen share to a PC or mac or connect the phones to a windows PC, then connect a keyboard to the phones and control that keyboard with the PC, then share the PC to the VA, I think controlling the keyboard with the PC would need external hardware, not sure...

Anyways, you are better off getting an android and doing that, it'll save you money and be hassle-free, although you wont be able to utilize the social medias preference of iphones.

No, you don't need a jailbreak. And since you are the owner of the app, you don't have to use the official Apple AppStore. There are other ways to upload your app to the iPhones.

But of course everything Apple Xcode related requires an Apple Mac computer.

Yeah, I don't think you can do it with your own app, if you jailbreak and make an app which you sideload to the phone, then maybe...it is a long shot though. You'll still need an iPhone which has ios13 or lower and they are pretty expensive on ebay, then you'll need to verify the sideloaded apps every 2 days, which can be done automatically if the PC is connected to the same network, but it is not reliable, from my tests.

don't you need the testing license or something like that to have access to testing your app for more than a couple of days?

The signing will be done with one of the Xcode tools. You need an AppleID, but the (paid) membership of the Apple developer program is not required.

I think I'll just adjust the workflow to android instead of iphones.
Seems to much work and effort for how little it would benefit me personally.

But thanks to everyone for shinning light onto such an uncommon subject.
