Controlling iOS devices on a computer without jailbreaking

[user10364]

Does anyone have any insights or resources to learn about controlling iOS devices (mainly iPhones 6+) on a desktop without jailbreaking the device?

I found a company that offers a hardware-software solution but would rather learn how to do it myself. Not sure if I can share the company name here..

I'd be like to be able to sync multiple iPhones to a computer and then - similar to android emulators - mimic clicks, scrolls, etc. via the computer.

I recall reading a couple of threads here about how it's quite difficult to do on iOS.

I think that's the only solution to create your own code / app that perform actions.

Controlling iOS devices from a computer without jailbreaking is limited due to Apple’s strict security model. You can use official tools like Apple Configurator, Xcode’s simulator, or mobile device management (MDM) solutions for partial control (e.g., installing apps, screen mirroring, or basic automation). Full click/scroll emulation isn’t natively supported — unlike Android. For learning, explore UI testing frameworks (XCUITest) or hardware-based automation rigs, but avoid any method that bypasses Apple’s restrictions, as that could violate their terms.
