Hello everyone,
I'm currently setting up my phone farm from complete & absolute scratch, so I thought documenting my entire process would be useful, not only for me but someone else who might be on the same path.
The reason behind this is that I want to test how it works. The goal is to automate the whole content creation, posting & distribution end to end (using AI, obviously) to obviously make money monetizing my Own apps and SaaS.
I've spent quite some time researching on the internet (Especially on BHW) and I've came to the conclusion that the best way to do the automation it's by using hardware on your phone. To do so, I bought an ESP32 card which is plugged to my iPhone X using a camera adapter. This way I can simulate keyboard/mouse touches & scroll without TikTok or any social media detecting automation hardware (Like WDA, Appium, XCUITest or any kind of driver), reducing the chances of getting banned.
As per now, the process is quite messy and slow, as iOS 16.7 (The latest version my iPhone X accepts) doesn't support absolute tapping. This means I can't simply say click on X,Y coordinates, hence I have to keep track of the cursor position, make sure it clicked on the right place, etc. Nevertheless, I somewhat managed to get this stable and I'm working on making the code as modular as possible so I can reuse this components for future workflows (Such as creating accounts, error recovery, proxy setup & switch, etc).
I'm aware that this "by hardware" method it's more complex, fragile and manual than pure software automation, but I really hope it will be useful & make a difference in the longer run.
I'm also very aware that this process is extremely complicated, as automating everything E2E and make sure it works flawlessly takes a ton of time, trial & error and iteration, but I know for a fact that with time & passion this is more than achievable.
If everything goes correctly, I'll buy more iPhone X and setup a proper farm. I'm note sure how many accounts per device are considered safe, because I've seen many different responses. The most common one was 3 or less.. but this is something I'll definitely have to test, fail and fix myself.
NOTE: The program I use to control de iPhone is self made in case anyone's asking. There's nowhere to be found on the internet. Matter of fact, it's a state of art when it comes to FULLY control your iphone by hardware (Clicks, Swipes, Drag & drop, etc). I wasn't able to find such a thing on GitHub, academic papers or anything similar.
I'll try to update this thread every time I got a noticeable upgrade or something to share.
If anyone else is on the same journey, feel free to post your insights, what worked & what didn't or anything that might be useful for the rest of us.
Cheers all!
