The software requires use of a Kanzi cable to connect to Apple devices and will display an &quot;unauthorized cable&quot; error if the user attempts to use a standard lightning cable. This is an assumed security feature added to the internal software to ensure the software is used only by Apple Employees. AirSwitch does not use the standard IPSW restore bundles to restore devices like [[PurpleRestore]].

AirSwitch is currently in beta and will be the future replacement for PurpleRestore as indicated when using the purple_restore command in the terminal. It also has a demo mode which will simulate connected devices as seen in the picture here on this wiki which will allow one to try the software before being used on actual devices.

<p>JVHResearch: </p> <hr /> <div>AD Tester is an Internal application that is used for testing advertising ID's on internal test prototypes. Has yet to be seen in the wind, however there is information that has been leaked out by an employee. This would be used by team members testing new hardware in their everyday lives while under a highly strict NDA. Reports information of passes and failures to a log file that can later be send to a data collection tech within the testing department.<br /> {{stub|software}}</div>

<p>JVHResearch: /* Apps known to be used by Apple Employees */</p> <hr /> <div>These are apps that are used for testing. These vary from internal testing apps to Apple Store Employee apps.<br /> In general, these apps are launchable from [[SpringBoard]], but some are not, such as when SpringBoard does not exist. In that case, look at the non-GUI testing apps at [[SwitchBoard: /usr/local/bin]].<br /> <br /> == Internal diagnostic apps known from beta firmwares and prototypes ==<br /> * [[Ad Tester]] <br /> *
