Android & iPhone Farms

[alygg77]

Hello everyone,

We are a couple of AI guys that can produce mass content using our in-house GPUs. Now we are setting up phone farms, and would like to get some advice on it. We've been using Geelark for a while, and results for TikTok are decent, worse for Instagram. Now I bought a couple of Android phones, and connected open source plain tool that just executes requests with AI, but to make it work I've enabled Developer mode and USB debugging, so they are visible in the ADB list.

Also, we are thinking of iOS farms, to make it work via Developer mode and XCode, but this seems a bit of work.

So afaik, Tiktok and Instagram will detect Developer mode and lower our views/ban completely?

And, are there any viable ways of creating iPhone farms, and for Android farms do we need special kind of software so Developer mode is not visible?

Thanks in advance. To anybody who can help we're willing to share our knowledge on AI content creation.

Developer mode is indeed detectable, but it's not that bad. Regular users often have developer mode enabled and it's not a serious red flag. However, if you want to be 100% covered, you can use clones with option to hide developer mode (it's easy). From my experience, IP address and accounts quality is like 80% of success, everything else (device id, location, SIM info, build props, advertising ids, developer mode, etc) can be covered by a good cloner.

iPhone farm is not that hard. You don't even need XCode. I assume you meant controlling iPhones via web driver agent, such as when using testing frameworks. But with this approach you get a very limited "control" part, basically you can just emulate simple touch gestures. Better way is to use USB mouse emulation via assistive touch. I know agencies who use self-made solutions to screencast to PC via Apple AirPlay and emulate mouse via USB connection from PC to iPhones. This requires direct connection between iPhones and PC. Another way is to emulate mouse with clickers. They use one dongle per iPhone and get full remote access to each iPhone from browser.

Thanks for reply! App cloner like appcloner dot app?

Regarding iPhone farms, I meant controlling physical devices that are connected to the PC.

Not necessary, there are multiple cloning services. I personally use another one, promoted here in bhw.

Yes, I understood you correctly about iPhones.

What do you think about using Appium for iOS?

Hey, I'm curious, is this legal according to the law, and how can you monetize this business? What's the point of this farm, unless you work for the government, of course.

Appium is detected by apps youll want to automate.

So are there good workarounds? Our main pain is Instagram, Tiktok is doing well on Geelark

Only thing I’m aware of that’s working is Xcode. It’s not detected. iOS has far better privacy control with apps than android.

Appium is a testing framework for mobile developers. It has very limited possibilities for remote control.

It’s basically the same. Both ways work via web driver agent on iOS.
If you continue searches you will end up with a simple thought. Like I said:

In simple words, you move a mouse on pc and touch pointer moves on iPhone. Look for nomix clickers to understand better. Some big agencies use their own solutions for this.

for android ADB is fine, developer mode detection is way overblown as a concern. what matters more is IP quality and account age. been running ADB-based setups on both real devices and LDPlayer for a while, IG works solid. for iOS the mouse emulation approach mentioned above is legit but honestly android is just easier to scale
