Dear All,
As promised, I am always here to give you the good news and amazing
articles to read, sometimes shocking news and awesome tools. Finally
guys, I got you the extreme good news.
For all the testers who are fans of iTools, the version 3.3.7.7 is compatible with iOS 10. (it is just a bit tricky...)
I simply installed it, never needed a restart for my Windows 10 PC,
all what I have done is started iTools after the installation, quit it
then start it again and found luckily that it is working very well !
Below I pasted a screenshot showing the proof that iTools is compatible with iOS 10 and it detected my iPhone 6+ on iOS 10.0.2.
Where to download ?
As usual, I love simplicity :) so I provided a link below where you can download iTools ver. 3.3.7.7

* Update 28 September 2016: Note that the below application is not working with iPhone 5 on iOS 10.
Many developers, testers and people are recording their iPhone/iPad
screens with the help of jailbreak tweaks, but this means that you will
have to jailbreak your device.
Is there any way you can escape Jailbreak and record your iPhone and iPad screen instantly?
Well, the answer is YES !
Since
I started testing with uTest I've craved for an easy solution to
record my iPhone screen. Many tests/customers request a video to be
taken while submitting bugs, videos are one of the strongest proofs
supporting your reported bugs.
But, my long wish hadn’t
yet been fulfilled until I came across AirShou, the application that
can do the job perfectly.
AirShou is an excellent iPhone screen recorder app. Unlike Reflector
2, it’s capable of recording your iPhone’s screen without the help of
computer. All you have to do to get started with it is install it on
your device and you are ready to capture your iPhone’s screen quickly.
On the other hand, there is another advantage, exported videos are with
an extremely beautiful super HD clarity and the size is very small
compared to the size of videos exported from recording hardware, phones
or even other applications. ( I am sure this will help testers to
capture smaller sizes, upload them faster & at the same time this
will save space on Hard Drives.)
I will give an
example, I recorded my iPhone screen through another iPhone , exported
the .mov Video that was 98 MB and it took me 20 minutes to upload it for
my reported bug, when I discovered AirShou after few minutes I was
extremely in a shock to find that the same video can be recorded
straight from my iPhone without the need of another device or the help
of mirroring my screen to a computer and the format was .mp4 with a size
of only 8 Mb and the upload took me a minute !
Let's not talk a lot because I am sure that you are excited to try it so let the Party begin !
How to install AirShou on your iPhone/iPad ?
Steps are easy as 1,2,3 :
Step #1. Open http://emu4ios.net/ in Safari on iPhone or iPad and click on AirShou
Step #2. Now click on Get and the application will begin to install.
Step#3. Voilà ! After the download is finish you will see the AirShou application icon on your iPhone's desktop.
Now all what you have to do is to open the application, get a little
bit familiar with it (e.g. recording landscape/portrait, saving the
videos to your camera roll, start & stop recording, etc...) and
that's it ! Believe it or not, that's it ;) !
Can’t Open the App? Here’s How to Fix
Just like any other third-party applications, since iOS 9, Apple has
put extra restrictions upon them. As a result, users will have to trust
the application they downloaded individually. This instructions is from
Untrusted Developer issue.
Don't panic, this is fixable. Just follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings > General > Swipe down to the bottom and select "Device Management"
- On this page, you may find several enterprise apps
- Choose the app corresponding to the app that iPhone doesn’t let you open
- Tap on the Trust button and another one to confirm & that's it ;) !

you the best of luck in your tests!

I know that many of you are frustrated from the fact that iTools is
no longer compatible with the release of iOS 10 and the concept of
capturing iOS console logs for your iPhone, iPad or any iOS device is
becoming harder with the new iOS updates.
I am writing this article
because I was one of the testers having difficulties capturing my iPhone
console logs on my Windows 10 PC and for many bugs reported through
uTest, capturing the logs was one of the mandatory tasks needed by the
customer. I was running to my wife requesting access to her MacBook Air
in order to capture some console logs :D !!! OMG, sometimes it is
annoying...Don't you agree ?
After many researches performed over the Internet, I finally found a
tool called iOSLongInfo released by Blackberry Inc. This tool must run
through command prompt on Windows computers to perform the console logs
capturing.
Steps are very easy, but bear in mind that you must have iTunes installed on your Windows PC before using this tool.
How to download and use iOSLongInfo ?
1- Download the iOSLogInfo tool from here: https://www.blackberry.com/blackberrytraining/web/KB_Resources/KB36986_iOSLogInfo_3.0.5.zip
2- Use Winrar or winzip to extract the folder into any directory ( e.g. I extracted the folder to my C: Drive )
3- Make sure that your device is connected through the lightning cable to your PC
4- Click on start and type "CMD" , right click on the command prompt
and make sure to select "Run as Administrator" as shown below
5- Now on the command prompt, go to the path of iOSLogInfo folder
(e.g. in my case it was c:\iOSLogInfo so I had to type cd C:\iosloginfo)
6- Type the command below to begin with capturing iOS console logs
sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > c:\iosloginfo\consolelogs.txt
7- Do the needed action on your iOS device and once you are done go
back to the command prompt and type CTRL + C to stop the console logging
task.
8- Now you will notice that there is a new .txt file created inside the iOSLogInfo folder called "consolelogs.txt"
9- Voilà, :) you just have the console logs captured !
Note that the iOSLogInfo tool is having many commands other than
capturing the iOS Console logs, there is for example the command called
"sdsioscrashlog" to capture crash logs, "sdsdeviceinfo" to get your
device info. etc... (see the screenshot below to see the list of
available commands) + I listed all the additional comands available
below:
Additional Commands available:
Capture console logs:
sdsiosloginfo.exe -d > C:\iOSLogInfo\consolelogs.log
Capture Carsh logs:
sdsioscrashlog.exe -e -k C:\iOSLogInfo\crash_logs
Pull disk_usage:
sdsdeviceinfo.exe -q com.apple.disk_usage -x > C:\iOSLogInfo\iOS_Disk_Usage.xml
Pull Device Stats:
sdsdeviceinfo.exe -x > C:\iOSLogInfo\iOS_Device_Stats.xml
Pull iTunes logs:
sdsioscrashlog.exe -e -k C:\iOSLogInfo

happy by now to find out that there is a tool to perform the capturing
of iOS console & crash logs, so please comment below, like my
