Depends on what you’re looking to automate, did you check out Later and Metricool?

I want to automate auto post, not a existing tool, but something like xcode so I can create a tool/script based on it
 
TikTok doesn't have an auto-posting feature directly on iPhone.
Currently, the TikTok app on iPhone doesn't support scheduling auto-posts directly from Shortcuts or automatically posting videos on the device — meaning you can't just use your iPhone and Shortcuts to automatically post without external tools. This feature isn't available in the current TikTok app.

Tools to help with TikTok auto-posting/scheduling
To automatically post TikTok videos (at the time you want):
Use a post scheduling service (Scheduler)
This is the most common method and the auto-publishing method that TikTok accepts through its official API:
Popular platforms
PostQuickAI – schedules TikTok videos to automatically post at the chosen time.
PostQuickAI
Predis.ai – supports uploading, writing captions + hashtags, and automatically posting according to a schedule you set. predis.ai
Quso.ai, Publer, Postpone – all allow you to connect your TikTok account and schedule video posts, captions, hashtags, etc. in advance.
When using these services, you can upload videos and set the posting time from your browser on your iPhone or Mac Mini, and the platform will automatically post them for you.
Some users report that posts automatically posted using tools may not perform as well as posts directly within the app (e.g., lower reach or engagement), so consider this if you are concerned about the display algorithm.

There are two ways in general how you can automate anything on iPhones. First is XCUITest-based tools. Its the iOS built-in framework initially meant for writing automated UI tests. But some use it to execute scripted clicks/swipes. It’s hacky approach and thus the gestures are unnatural which is a downside. But you can find such projects even in open source. Second is AssistiveTouch-based, which is much better because it executes all actions naturally via “legal” way defined by iOS. BUT it requires 3rd party hardware. You can google nomix clicker if you’re interested how it looks like. Basically you buy a dongle for iphone which works as a remote “electronic finger” and allows remote control and automation.
 
tbh,
on iphone it's tricky without jailbreak cuz tiktok detects heavy automation fast and bans quick
easiest and ightest stuff is
use built in shortcuts app (free on ios) for basic shit like auto open tiktok at certain times, play videos, or quick actions. but no real swiping/liking/posting automation
for more real automation likes, follows, views, comments most people use voice control and otg hardware or external scripts like node.js tools that trigger voice commands over cable
appium can automate tiktok ui but tiktok catches it easy now that 'designed just for you' screen pops up, so risky for main accts
no perfect no jailbreak tool for full botting like android has
if u want hardcore (mass accounts, views farming)
jailbreak and tweaks or use android emulator on mac mini instead
what exactly u wanna automate?
