Best way to extract a tunnel "--rsd HOST PORT" and pass to a new process?

[blakegonzales]

I'm curious if anyone has a better way to extract the tunnel "--rsd HOST PORT" and pass it to a new process. Preferably, I would like to do this in one script instead of two. Here is how I do it today:

I first run this script to open then tunnel.

#/bin/bash
TEMPFILE=/tmp/simulate-location-rsd.txt
sudo script -q -F $TEMPFILE pymobiledevice3 remote start-quic-tunnel --script-mode

Then I open up another terminal window and run this script:

#/bin/bash
TEMPFILE=/tmp/simulate-location-rsd.txt
pymobiledevice3 developer dvt simulate-location set --rsd `cat $TEMPFILE | cut -w -f1,2` -- $1 $2

Any thoughts from the community?

Hi,
Check out the new feature Tunneld.

[blakegonzales]

tunneld looks promising!

I'm not sure of the usage though. I'm trying pseudo-random --host and --port and getting errors.

% sudo pymobiledevice3 remote tunneld --host fd31:226:df0b::1 --port 61532
INFO:     Started server process [58501]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
ERROR:    [Errno 49] error while attempting to bind on address ('fd31:226:df0b::1', 61532, 0, 0): can't assign requested address
INFO:     Waiting for application shutdown.
INFO:     Application shutdown complete.
%

What is the correct usage?

[netanelc305]

The --host and --port options are intended for Tunneld http server, which can be used to query information about active tunnels. It's generally recommended to use the default values for these options.

Start Tunneld:

sudo pymobiledevice3 remote tunneld -d

Once you've started the Tunneld service, you can use various commands that require the --rsd flag, like this:

pymobiledevice3 developer dvt simulate-location --tunnel ''

Please note that this feature is currently not supported on Linux and is compatible only with macOS.

Amazing. That works perfectly and is so much easier!

After starting the tunnel as shown, I ran the following command.

pymobiledevice3 developer dvt simulate-location set --tunnel '' -- [LATITUDE] [LONGITUDE]

Thank you!
