Development of software for controlling iPhone via USB cable from PC
A program needs to be developed for Windows that allows connecting a jailbroken iPhone via USB cable and controlling it from a computer.
Main functionality:
Connecting the iPhone via USB. The program should quickly recognize the connected iPhone and operate through the cable to minimize delays and lags.
Screen mirroring of the iPhone on the computer.
(The phone's screen should be displayed on the computer in real-time)
Controlling the phone with a mouse. The user should be able to click, swipe, scroll, and control the iPhone screen using the mouse from the computer.
Text input from the computer.
There should be a shared clipboard between the computer and the iPhone.
File transfer from the computer to the iPhone. A function for uploading files from the computer to the phone's memory or to specific folders/apps needs to be added.
Stable operation.
The program should run smoothly, without significant delays, freezes, or connection drops.
Compatibility: support for jailbroken iPhone, rootless jailbreak, iOS 16.7.12, connection via USB.

196 We already have almost ready developments for similar device management via PC, which can be quickly adapted and discussed here on the marketplace, I am in touch ))
10,000 UAH seems to be enough only for technical verification or a minimal demonstration stage; for a stable Windows program with USB, streaming, clicks, swipes, clipboard, and files, I would allocate a separate stage starting from 35,000 UAH for 10-12 days.
We can start with a prototype - connecting an iPhone, screen capture, basic mouse touches, and measuring latency, and then refine the clipboard and file transfer.
Look, there’s a nuance... for iOS 16.7.12 and rootless jailbreak, it’s important to check which services are already available on your device, as this affects the control method and stability.
A test iPhone with your jailbreak and a brief description of which folders or applications files need to be transferred is required.
Question - should it be a full-fledged Windows program with an interface or is a technical utility for internal use sufficient?
Second question - is control needed for only one iPhone or potentially for multiple devices?
If recurring scenarios are needed in the future, an AI assistant can be added on top of the basic control, but it’s better not to overload the first stage.
A similar case in terms of non-standard automation level is https://business.ingello.com/fractal - where process and integration stability is important.
… Another close example with complex system logic is https://business.ingello.com/platforma - architecture, roles, reliability.

1009 2 0 Hello!
I understand the task: to create a Windows program for managing a jailbroken iPhone via USB, with screen sharing, mouse control, clipboard sharing, and file transfer.
My plan: I will implement the USB connection module using libusb or the Apple Mobile Device Framework for quick device recognition. I will build the screen sharing on capturing the video stream through jailbreak tweaks (for example, using ffmpeg or a custom driver). Mouse control will be implemented by emulating Multi-Touch events based on coordinates. I will synchronize the clipboard through a custom daemon on the iPhone. File transfer will be done via an AFCD or SCP-like mechanism. I will optimize for iOS 16.7.12 rootless.
Are there specific requirements for the interface or preferred libraries for working with USB? Let's discuss the details here.

1822 10 0 Hello. Developing such a program will require a deep understanding of low-level interaction with iOS devices and optimizing data transfer over USB. I propose an architecture using the native USB protocol for maximum speed and implementing a special service on the iPhone for effective screen capture and event injection, compatible with rootless jailbreak. My experience in developing tools for custom iOS firmware and optimizing video streaming will allow for the creation of a stable and fast solution, utilizing ready-made templates for reliable data transfer and control. This will ensure smooth operation, minimize latency, and provide high security for interactions. I suggest discussing all implementation details, final budget, and timelines in private messages.

207 A few clarifications to start: Is the iPhone already with a rootless jailbreak on iOS 16.7.12 and with OpenSSH/Filza installed? What is the target FPS/latency for streaming (for example, 30–60 FPS) and do you need access to all files or just to photos/specific applications? Also, please confirm the version of Windows (10/11).
We have experience with Python + PyQt on Windows, working via USB (usbmuxd/libimobiledevice, AFC), setting up screen streaming with minimal latency, and emulating taps/gestures on jailbroken iOS. We implement mouse control, shared clipboard, text input, and reliable file transfer. We will create a neat UI and a stable installer for Windows.
We are ready to quickly assemble a PoC (USB connection + screen display + basic clicks) and agree on the remaining features. Please write to synchronize details and plan.
