4. Phone / environment setup
Install AiSi / iTools (recommended)
Before installing the IPA, install AiSi Assistant (爱思助手) on Windows (download):
- Connect iPhone via USB and tap Trust this computer
- Open AiSi and confirm it shows your connected iPhone
Reminder: At minimum, AiSi must see the phone connected. If AiSi cannot detect the device, check the cable, USB port, and trust prompt, then try AiSi’s Repair driver feature before installing the IPA or using the control center.
Install IPA (required)
- Download IPA: https://ieasyclick.com/ec-tj-mainapp
- Install via AiSi / iTools to the phone (after AiSi recognizes the device)
- Used as offline main app or USB automation service (iOS 15+ recommended)
USB and trust
- Connect iPhone with USB
- Tap Trust this computer
- Keep control center running; device visible in control center UI
App authorization (required)
On iOS 15+, use the offline main app IPA as the USB automation service. Complete the items below on the phone—keep-alive and Photos matter for stability and media workflows (IME is optional, see below).
Based on EasyClick IME docs, photo library docs, and offline control-center guide.
Keep-alive
- Open main app → App settings → Keep-alive: check all three → Save
- Confirm floating window appears so the app stays active in background
Input method (optional, as needed)
The main app includes a custom keyboard. You do not need it for every task—chat and workflows can use taps, paste, OCR, etc. Configure IME only when you need keyboard-based text entry (IME workflow steps, long text typing):
- Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard → enable the keyboard named after your main app (default may be “易点云测”; restart iPhone if missing)
- Tap that keyboard → turn on Allow Full Access
- Focus an input field; if the yellow-background main-app keyboard does not appear, tap the globe key to switch
Limitation
Password fields and apps that block third-party keyboards fall back to the system keyboard—automation cannot type there.
Photo library (required for album import / video workflows)
- Allow the Photos prompt on first use (prefer “All Photos” / full access)
- If denied: Settings → [main app] → Photos and enable access
- App settings → Permission grants (v7.x+) can batch-request album and other permissions
Album wipe operations are irreversible—confirm device and scope before running workflows.
Other system permissions
- Location, Background App Refresh, Local Network as prompted
Self-check
| Capability | How to verify |
|---|---|
| IME (optional) | When typing is needed, yellow main-app keyboard appears |
| Photos | Photos permission on in Settings |
| Keep-alive | All three keep-alive options + floating window |
| Automation | Main app shows running / Automating Running state |
Workflow node “Start automation environment”
Some workflows start with this node—it depends on USB session and IPA. If it fails, recheck this section.
5. Acceptance
- EasyClick iOS USB control center running
- iDeviceFarm workstation running
- IPA installed on iPhone
- App authorization done (keep-alive, Photos, etc.; IME optional)
- Device online on Devices after USB connect
Then: Getting started → first Chat task.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Workstation won’t start | Install WebView2 setup exe |
| AiSi cannot see phone | Try another cable/USB port, replug, confirm Trust this computer; use AiSi’s Repair driver feature; reinstall AiSi if needed. Install IPA only after AiSi recognizes the device |
| Control center no phone | Cable, replug USB, trust PC, signed in; first confirm USB works in AiSi |
| Stuck on “Start automation environment” | IPA + USB + both apps running |
| IME typing fails when needed | IME added, Full Access on, yellow keyboard active |
| Album import fails | Photos permission; App settings → Permission grants |
| Automation stops mid-run | Keep-alive (all three) + floating window |
| offline in workstation | Confirm online in control center first |
