   @amolith I know dwservice (dwservice.net) supports macOS, not sure about iOS.

     I need to remotely control an iOS device with *something* like one might remotely control a PC with Teamviewer.
     
     As far as I can tell, that *something* just doesn't exist.
     
     Is that accurate or have I just missed some super obvious solution :akko_what:
     
     This client is technologically illiterate and moving to Spain for a couple of months; he wants us to do things on his iPhone in Spain from the US.
     
     We're looking at building a super jank contraption so he can set his phone in it, plug in a cable, and go away. There will be a webcam pointing down at the phone so we can see the screen (no third-party screen recording on iOS) and the cable he plugs in will emulate a mouse and keyboard. We'll VNC into the Pi and a Python (:neofox_x_x:) script will capture mouse movements/keystrokes and relay those to the iPhone.
     
     I really don't want to build this shit if something already exists. Please tell me I'm dumb and point me to something that already exists.
