FMIDEVICE

A command line program and library which locates all iDevices associated with an Apple ID registered on the iCloud services.

By default, a web client is used to access location data. A user is notified via email same way as he would be in the case of accessing an iCloud services through a web browser. Additionally, the 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) is triggered on devices associated with an Apple ID.

An alternative way is to use a mobile client through silent mode option. A user won't be notified via email and the 2FA is not triggered.

File configuration

A configuration file such as (~/.fmidevice.yaml) can be loaded in an application if exists in a home directory. In silent mode, it allows to configure an AccountName (Apple ID), a PrsId and an AuthToken to bypass authentication via an AccountName and a Password. Normal (default) mode does not use content of a configuration file.

Configuration flags are prioritised over a values from a configuration file.

Example of a content present in a ~/.fmidevice.yaml file:

---
AccountName: tester.test@gmail.com
prsID: 422669977
AuthToken: IAAAAAAABLwIAAAAAFsNsMMRjbG91ZC5.....bwCrDpbTR3MOSXbonheI2OivFvl9JW4FKA~~

If a valid configuration file exists then you can run binary without parameters in silent mode.

./fmidevice locate --silent
