Important
On Linux, usbmuxd must be installed on your system. Don't worry though, it comes with most popular distributions by default already! However, due to some distributions udev rules usbmuxd may stop running after no devices are connected causing Impactor to not detect the device after plugging it in. You can mitigate this by plugging your phone first then restarting the app.
On Windows, iTunes must be downloaded so Impactor is able to use the drivers for interacting with Apple devices.
Note
Pairing file installation is only available for devices plugged in via USB.
Tip
chmod +x /path/to/AppImage after downloading may be required for Linux.
This project is still very new! Expect bugs to occur :)
Changes
- Adds support for macOS Catalina, Big Sur, and potentially lower.
- Adds portable exe for Windows in releases.
- Adds support for manually triggering device trust dialog.
- Fixes some apps not being installed properly on Apple Silicon Macs.
- Fixes signing issues on Windows by doing additional checks.
- Blacklists some capabilities from being registered, due to the fact that they would mainly need server-side setup.
Known Issues
- AppleTV support is bare, doesn't support wireless pairing.
- Users may rarely have trouble logging in via SMS 2FA (#26).
