okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual β¨ we're doing idevicescreenshot today and honestly? it's giving "screenshot your iPhone from your terminal like a hacker main character" π
β¨ NAME β¨
idevicescreenshot β gets a screenshot from the connected device. that's it. that's the whole job. and it ate π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
idevicescreenshot [OPTIONS] [FILE]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what does it do? Gets a screenshot from the connected device. literally the icon behaviour, no notes π«Ά
The screenshot gets saved as a TIFF image with the FILE name you give it. and if you don't give it one? no stress, the default name is screenshot-DATE.tiff, like for example:
./screenshot-2013-12-31-23-59-59.tiff
β οΈ NOTE, and this part is important bestie: a mounted developer disk image is required on the device, otherwise the screenshotr service is not available π like if it's not mounted, this whole thing just does not work. no screenshot for you. mount that disk image first, periodt.
