✨ NAME ✨

ideviceactivation — Activate or deactivate an iOS device. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ideviceactivation activate [OPTIONS]

ideviceactivation deactivate [OPTIONS]

ideviceactivation state [OPTIONS]

so you pick a command, and then you sprinkle your OPTIONS on top like glitter ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this bad boy lets you activate and deactivate iOS devices by talking to Apple's webservice. literally just chatting with Apple. networking, but make it personal 💅

and here's the tea: if the activation process uses forms, input will be requested from the user. so don't walk away mid-command, bestie — it might ask you for stuff 🙈

✨ COMMANDS ✨

• activate — Attempt to activate the device. it's giving "let's go, get this device living" 🔥
• deactivate — Deactivates the device. the opposite vibe. device goes night-night 💤
• state — Query device for activation state. basically a vibe check for your device 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -d, --debug — Enable communication debugging. turn this on when you wanna see every single message being passed around. gossip mode 📢
• -u, --udid UDID — Target specific device by UDID. got more than one device in the group chat? call out the exact one by name 🎯
• -n, --network — Connect to network device. your device isn't plugged in? it's out there on the network, and this is how you reach it 🌐
• -b, --batch — Explicitly run in non-interactive mode (default: auto-detect). no questions asked, just do the thing. it'll figure it out on its own unless you say otherwise 🦋
• -s, --service URL — Use activation webservice at URL instead of default. you got your own service? slay, go off 👑
• -v, --version — Print version information and exit. quick lil "who am i" moment ⭐
• -h, --help — Prints usage information. when you forget how any of this works (real) 😭
