Run XPC Activities On Demand

XPCActivityRun

A command line tool for jailbroken devices that allows you to manually trigger XPC Activities.

Best paired with this post on bryce.co for background context and a walkthrough of the initial implementation.

Usage

$ xpc-activity-run
Usage: xpcactivityrun [activity name 1] [activity name 2] [...]

# Example:
$ xpc-activity-run com.apple.CacheDelete.daily

The above example will cause the XPC Activity named com.apple.CacheDelete.daily (implemented by deleted) to run immediately, regardless of schedule or activity criteria.

Building

Prerequisites

Installation

If you have THEOS_DEVICE_IP and THEOS_DEVICE_PORT set (see Theos setup) :

Otherwise, you can copy the .deb file created by make package onto your device and install manually with dpkg.
