sonic-ios-bridge is based on gidevice as the underlying iOS communication protocol. On this basis, peripheral auxiliary functions are enriched, such as automatic mounting of developer images, wda installation detection, iOS model mapping, direct use of command lines, etc. To create a command-line iOS debugging tool that executes xctest, WebDriverAgentRunner, performance monitoring and other special functions across platforms. So you can use sib to perform cross-terminal iOS automation, iOS device communication, and iOS device testing without Mac. Whether gidevice or tidevice, the main principle is to communicate with usbmux. The role of usbmux is to realize cross-platform communication with iOS device services. On the Mac, usbmuxd is a service of Apple, which is mainly used to implement TCP connections on the USB protocol. Both iTunes and Xcode use this service, so the Windows system needs to install iTunes.
