When I connect my android phone to a (Windows) desktop via a USB cable, I would like to automate downloading photos and other files from the phone to the desktop by using a script, preferably Python, but C# would do.
Is there a ready package available for this task? If not, what is the way to access the file system on the phone? How to get to the phone data using Windows system API?
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge; it is the official command line tool and provides shell terminal access to Android phones that has allowed developer debug access.
There seems to be 3rd-party python API for this.

I have a requirement to Automate scripts on iOS devices using the Robot framework/Python on the Windows platform.
What are all things I required in order to achieve this task?
You can't set up everything you need on Windows for iOS device. Instead you need to use macOS.
Maybe the answers here would be helpful.
No you can't automate any iOS scripts from windows system . The main requirement for iOSDriver to communicate with appium scripts and to your iOS device requires xcode app . Which is not there onto windows .
Appium can automate iOS device tests via WebDriverAgent.
WebDriverAgent can be run through multiple open source multi-platform tools from Windows:
go-ios
tidevice
others...
You will need Xcode to first build WDA though before you can deploy it to a device. Once it is installed on the device ( until the signing expires at least ) you can run WDA from any OS ( Mac, Windows, Linux ) using the various tools.
I'm building a script to automate some stuff on my Android emulator I'm currently using pyautogui to do it tho it would be nice if there was some sort of way I can directly interact with the emulator without it relying on my mouse
I know there's an option using ADB but that requires the android to be rooted
a lot of android emulators like Nox, Bluestacks, LDplayer have built-in macros that don't require the device to be rooted.
How do these emulators send commands to the emulator is that something I can tap into and send commands through that instead?
Answer: These emulator run on virtual machines their macro is sending input command from the virtual machine input API
I am currently trying to automate an iOS application on a real iOS device. For this I have setup all the necessary tools on MacBook like appium, xcode etc. The iOS application tests are written in Robot Framework, python. I want to write a python script which can create ssh connection to MacBook remotely through Windows PC, start the appium server and then execute the iOS test on real iPhone. I want to know if there is a possibility to do this thing.
Thanks in advance.
I am using Airtest IDE for android application automation. For it I prepared a Airtest project(.air) with automation steps.
The problem is I want to run this project on two Android devices but in airtest we can only run on one device at a time.
So, I tried opening it in two different Airtest IDE windows and manually running it on one device in one window and on other device in other window.
I want to automate these step using Python. I want to open both the windows using python and running in one device with one window and other device with other one.
Use this in your python code and in airtestide.
connect_device("Android:///device name")
adb device will give you device name
by using this connect_device = script will only run in that particular device only
and add another device for your ide.
I want to run a script in python that sends a text message to a selected number from my android phone. Is this even possible with python?
Since the script has to send a message from your Android phone, I assume you want to run the script on your phone as well. This blog post suggests that it is (or was) possible, using the Android Scripting Environment.
