Argent can now control physical iPhones over USB 🍎 ~/ npx @swmansion/argent init

Check out Argent on GitHub and give us a ⭐ while you're there 😌

phone farm starter kit unlocked

Or use ours when you don't want to build your own

What can I say - finally 🥹🎉

😎

so cool, gonna try it out!!!

🙌

agents can already do this via iPhone Mirroring and computer use

iPhone Mirroring isn't available in the European Union

controlling iPhones over USB opens up some cool possibilities for automation

What would be the coolest one?

oh! Installing….

Let us know how it went!

Yes!!!! I've been waiting folks! Congrats. Looking forward to trying it out.

Let us know how it went!

This is the mobile bit I keep wanting agents to have. Does it survive normal iOS nonsense like permissions, app switching and random auth screens?

Yes.

Oh nice. I need to try this properly then. Does it keep app state between actions or is every run starting cold?

It’s been long coming. Awesome 👏🏾

Worth the wait 😎

Does it work on windows laptops?

You need a MacOS machine for controlling physical iOS devices

@salmanr2d2 Thats is the main problem. Any similar tooling for linux or windows? @grok any hope?

Yes, for Windows try SideTap ( / It lets LLM agents control a real iPhone over USB with no Mac, no jailbreak, just a free Apple ID. Uses go-ios + WebDriverAgent for UI taps, typing, and element tree reads. Linux has no drop-in equivalent yet, but go-ios runs WebDriverAgent on physical devices for similar automation (more setup required).

Android??

Argent supports physical Android for months now.

ooooooooooooooooo

expooooooooooooooooo

@kacperkapusciak Woah, a popular and reliable tool releasing this?! GGs, testing it today 😁

@kacperkapusciak Yes sir 🫡

LETS GOOO

Yes! 🙌

would it be possible to do this with Linux? or is MacOS a requirement?

You need a MacOS machine for controlling iOS devices

Awesome, can’t wait to try it out

Awesome ! I think that was the last missing piece ! 👏

Gotta catch 'em all!

brhhh

Finally

What about android?

Does it use the accessibility hierarchy for navigating or screenshots?

A mix of both!

Good lord your team is just full of geniuses. I'm jealous

Thank you ! 🙏🏻

You're welcome!

@NousResearch's Hermes Agent organized my pixel 9 Pro Xl's home screen and fixed a random battery drain issue caused by an app. Back in April.

another banger 🔥

is this using mobilerun?

You're the best SWM

Thank you! 🥰

Was using it the day you launched, amazing! Had some fun.

USB control of physical iPhones because the RN toolchain needs that much ceremony… yeah. We went the other way: PHP that ships real native apps.

it's showtime

Argent: Brand New Feature 🤭

Agents already do that, and wirelessly as well.
