Could you build this?

Partial While wrapping the agent loop with an LLM is straightforward, communicating reliably with physical iOS devices over USB requires interacting with low-level iOS protocols and tools.

What it would actually take: The system relies on integrating an LLM agent with low-level iOS automation tools (such as libimobiledevice, WebDriverAgent / XCUITest, or pymobiledevice3) and video capture pipelines (usbmuxd, AVFoundation/QuickTime capture protocol). The hard part is managing iOS security entitlements, provisioning profiles, real-time screen frame extraction over USB, and reliable gesture injection without jailbreaking.
