I need to programmatically add touch events to iOS devices system wide without using a jailbreak; how do I do this? Preferably I'd like to use a private API to do this running in an app in the background. I am aware that doing this prevents my app's availability on the app store; this is however a private app so it isn't a problem. What you need to do is first create the events you want, and then send them to SpringBoard over the "purple port" eg. mach port. To make them system wide you must forward them to each application over the port. That means you need to actually do what the

Some background iOS operation system has a "entitlement" notion . Generally speaking, it's a permission which is granted to an application. Other system services and apps can check for this permission to allow/deny execution of some functionality. These entitlements should be specified in a provisioning profile. System applications have a lot of different entitlements. User application are limited to just couple of entitlements (like access to iCloud or something like that which can be configured on developer portal). The question is: Does anybody know a way to add entitlements to user

Consider the private C function _UICreateScreenUIImage , which returns a UIImage snapshot of the current device screen: OBJC_EXTERN UIImage *_UICreateScreenUIImage(void) NS_RETURNS_RETAINED; I can put this in a bridging header and access it in Swift like so: MyApp-Bridging-Header.h @import UIKit; UIImage *_UICreateScreenUIImage(void) NS_RETURNS_RETAINED; MyClass.swift let image = _UICreateScreenUIImage() print(image) // <UIImage: 0x7fc4ba6081c0>, {375, 667} Is there a way I can access _UICreateScreenUIImage in pure Swift without using a bridging header? An initial thought was to create an

This is a 2-part Question. I have the following code working which grabs the current display surface and creates a video out of the surfaces (everything happens in the background). for(int i=0;i<100;i++){ IOMobileFramebufferConnection connect; kern_return_t result; IOSurfaceRef screenSurface = NULL; io_service_t framebufferService = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault, IOServiceMatching("AppleH1CLCD")); if(!framebufferService) framebufferService = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault, IOServiceMatching("AppleM2CLCD")); if(!framebufferService) framebufferService =

I want to capture a screenshot from a background service. Private API is just fine as I don't need to submit to app store. I have already tried UIGetScreenImage and it does not work from background app. I am using following code which I got from SO. IOSurfaceCreate returns null to me. Any help appreciated. CFMutableDictionaryRef dict; IOSurfaceRef screenSurface = NULL; char pixelFormat[4] = {'A','R','G','B'}; dict = CFDictionaryCreateMutable(kCFAllocatorDefault, 0, &kCFTypeDictionaryKeyCallBacks, &kCFTypeDictionaryValueCallBacks); uint32_t width ; uint32_t height; void *pitch; void *bPE; void

I'm searching through the whole internet since a few hours now, and I just can't find the informations I'm looking for. I would like to mess around with the private apis, see whats possible, etc., but I can't even compile something. So I've got a few pretty basic questions: Do I have to dump the headers? Because I downloaded a sample, where the API is loaded with char *framework = "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/..."; dlopen(...); I would like to use the objc-syntax (if possible) rather than using C (as mentioned above), if there are any opportunities. How do I make Xcode compile, if I
