💖 ideviceimagemounter — a whole manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the General Commands Manual section, and its whole name is ideviceimagemounter(1). say it with me: i-device-image-mounter. iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ideviceimagemounter — mount, list, or unmount a disk image on the device. that's it, that's the girl 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ideviceimagemounter [OPTIONS] COMMAND [COMMAND OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Mount, list, or unmount a disk image on the device.

like… literally what it says on the tin, no notes, she does exactly what she says she does 🫶

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

  • mount PATH — mount the developer disk image that lives at PATH. and here's the tea, it depends on your iOS version:
    • For iOS 17+, PATH is a directory containing a .dmg image, a BuildManifest.plist, and a Firmware sub-directory. yes, a whole little folder family, we love a supportive household 😭
    • For older versions, PATH is a .dmg filename that has a .dmg.signature file sitting in the same directory, or you can point to a file elsewhere with another parameter. lowkey flexible of her 💅
  • list — list mounted disk images. short, sweet, does the job ✨
  • unmount PATH — unmount the image mounted at PATH. the breakup era 🥀
  • devmodestatus — query the developer mode status (iOS 16+). yes she's nosy, but respectfully 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -u, --udid UDID — target a specific device by UDID. main character selection, only this one gets your attention 💖
  • -n, --network — connect to a network device. long-distance relationship, but make it tech 🌈
  • -d, --debug — enable communication debugging. she will be yapping, and honestly? we're listening 🍓
  • -t, --imagetype NAME — the image type to use. the default is 'Developer' — that's the blueprint, don't come for her 🎀
  • -x, --xml — use XML output. for when you want the receipts in a very specific format 📜
  • -h, --help — prints usage information. the "bestie explain urself" button 🫶
  • -v, --version — prints version information. so you know exactly which era you're in ⭐
