AisnsioDev/Iphonefarm

Hosted build note. This Space runs the control plane of Phone Farm iOS — dashboard, scheduler, plugin API and PostgreSQL — inside one Linux container. The device plane (Appium + WebDriverAgent driving physical iPhones over USB) needs macOS, Xcode and attached hardware, so this deployment always shows an empty fleet. See DEPLOY-HF.md for what runs here, what does not, and how to point it at a real farm. Upstream source: kevinbadi/Kevs-IOS-Agents.

Phone Farm iOS

An open-source, standalone application for operating physical iOS devices and running scheduled TikTok and Instagram workflows. It includes guided device registration, WDA/Appium supervision, live video and remote input, PostgreSQL-backed scheduling, recurring jobs, uploads, execution history, the dashboard/API server, and built-in TikTok + Instagram automation plugins.

It runs locally as-is; authentication is optional on a loopback bind. Harden it for a shared or exposed deployment by supplying your own AuthProvider (PHONE_FARM_AUTH_PLUGIN) and process supervision — no fork required. Tasks are persisted as pluginId, taskType, taskVersion, and a JSON payload, so an old schedule can never silently execute a new contract.

Run the standalone application

Requirements are Node 22+, PostgreSQL, Xcode, a signed real-device WebDriverAgent, and Appium's XCUITest driver.

npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run appium:install-driver
npm run db:up
npm run db:migrate
npm run wda:prepare

Run these long-lived processes (wrap each in a launchd agent or systemd unit for an always-on host):

npm run appium
npm run wda:service
npm run worker
npm run web

TikTok and Instagram support are enabled by default. Set PHONE_FARM_PLUGINS to comma-separated ESM package names to add more task plugins. Set PHONE_FARM_AUTH_PLUGIN to an ESM authentication provider before binding WEB_HOST outside loopback; startup deliberately fails otherwise.

Plugin contract

src/plugin.ts defines the stable interfaces. A plugin can provide versioned tasks, registration checks, device-page panels, namespaced HTTP routes, and declared WDA extensions. Task execution receives the exact device, that plugin's own per-device data, resolved assets, a temporary workspace, cancellation, durable logging, safe device primitives, and an observed subprocess runner.

See PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT.md for compatibility and trust rules.

src/example-plugin.ts is a minimal open-app plugin. Production plugins should be separate packages and should never require changes to core routing or scheduler code.

Repository policy

This repository uses GitHub-hosted CI only. Never connect production devices, Apple signing material, production databases, self-hosted runners, or deployment credentials to workflows triggered by pull requests. See SECURITY.md.
