Take a Screenshot

Use ScreenshotService for the older screenshot service path:

This example uses the first_provider() helper from the examples overview.

src/main.rs

use idevice::{IdeviceService, screenshotr::ScreenshotService};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let provider = first_provider().await?;

    // screenshotr is the older lockdown service for screenshot capture.
    let mut screenshots = ScreenshotService::connect(&provider).await?;

    let image = screenshots.take_screenshot().await?;
    tokio::fs::write("./screenshot.png", image).await?;

    Ok(())
}

Add the needed features:

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
idevice = { version = "0.1.64", features = ["usbmuxd", "screenshotr"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["fs", "macros", "rt-multi-thread"] }

The CLI screenshot command is a useful compatibility wrapper. It tries the newer DVT/CoreDevice path first, then falls back to screenshotr:

Terminal

idevice-tools screenshot ./screenshot.png

For the older service path, make sure the required Developer Disk Image is mounted on devices that need it.
