No Making a Mac act as a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for an iPhone, with no jailbreak and no Xcode on the phone, depends on undocumented Apple pairing and accessibility behaviour. That needs deep low-level platform expertise.
What it would actually take: It would need Bluetooth HID and pairing internals on macOS, a way to drive the iPhone's AssistiveTouch and accessibility layers, and USB-based screenshot capture through the device's private services. Getting this working reliably and keeping up with iOS updates requires experts in Apple platform internals and Bluetooth, plus physical test devices.
