Pairing Instructions

Downloads

idevice pair allows us to create a pairing file for programs like StikDebug to talk to your device remotely. This is required to use StikDebug, otherwise it will not function.

First, set a passcode on your device, sideload an app with the get-task-allow entitlement, and enable Developer Mode on your iOS/iPadOS device (found in Settings -> Privacy & Security after sideloading an app). Then, follow the instructions below.

Windows (64-bit)

  1. Install iTunes from Apple's website.
  2. Download iDevicePair--windows-x86_64.exe (move it somewhere you won't lose it).
  3. Connect your secondary device to your computer via cable. If a prompt appears, tap trust and type in your passcode.
  4. Unlock your device, then, in File Explorer, open idevice pair and select your device in the drop-down menu.
  5. Ensure your device is unlocked and opened to the home screen, then select generate (If already using an app such as SideStore which also utilizes a pairing file, select load instead). When a prompt appears on your device, tap trust. Your pairing file should appear.
  6. Ensure your device is still open to the home screen, then scroll down to the StikDebug section and select install. The word "success" should appear in green.

macOS

  1. Download iDevicePair--macos-universal.dmg. Open the image and drag idevice pair to Applications.
  2. Connect your secondary device to your computer via cable. If a prompt appears, tap trust and type in your passcode.
  3. Unlock your device, then open idevice pair and select your device in the drop-down menu.
  4. Ensure your device is unlocked and opened to the home screen, then select generate (If already using an app such as SideStore which also utilizes a pairing file, select load instead). When a prompt appears on your device, tap trust. Your pairing file should appear.
  5. Ensure your device is still open to the home screen, then scroll down to the StikDebug section and select install. The word "success" should appear in green.

Linux

  1. In the Linux terminal, run the following command to install usbmuxd:
sudo apt install -y usbmuxd
  1. Download the version of idevice pair above that corresponds to your PC's architecture and make it executable.
  2. Connect your secondary device to your computer via cable. If a prompt appears, tap trust and type in your passcode.
  3. Unlock your device, then execute idevice pair and select your device in the drop-down menu.
  4. Ensure your device is unlocked and opened to the home screen, then select generate (If already using an app such as SideStore which also utilizes a pairing file, select load instead). When a prompt appears on your device, tap trust. Your pairing file should appear.
  5. Ensure your device is still open to the home screen, then scroll down to the StikDebug section and select install. The word "success" should appear in green.
