Turn on Wi-Fi use for an iPhone you set up with a cable once, see how each phone is connected, and check the encrypted link between this Mac and the phone.

​
Usage

​
Commands

​
mobster wifi status

Show each iPhone set up here: on the cable, on Wi-Fi, or not reachable, and whether Wi-Fi is on for it. Reads only; changes nothing.

​
Options

​
mobster wifi on

Let Mobster reach an iPhone over Wi-Fi when it’s unplugged, through the encrypted link between this Mac and the phone. The iPhone must be plugged in and trust this Mac; this is the same switch as Connect via network in Xcode.

​
Options

​
mobster wifi off

Stop using an iPhone over Wi-Fi. When Mobster turned on the iPhone’s own switch (Connect via network), it turns that off too, over the cable. When it can’t, or Xcode turned the switch on, it says what to do.

​
Options

​
mobster wifi probe

Check an unplugged iPhone over Wi-Fi: what Xcode’s device service reports, the encrypted tunnel, WebDriverAgent on the tunnel through this Mac’s relay, and that the phone’s Wi-Fi address does not answer on 8100 or 9100. It binds only 127.0.0.1 and changes nothing on the phone (with --start, it launches the helper app on it for the probe, then stops it).
