…EN_HOST

The JSON-RPC server built its address with .inet(ip4:), so any IPv6 DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST failed at startup with inet_pton AF_INET and the runner exited before the server started. It also bound a single address, so binding anywhere else meant giving up 127.0.0.1.

DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST now takes a comma-separated list of IPv4/IPv6 literals and starts one listener per address with the same routes, using .inet6(ip6:) for IPv6. /shutdown stops every listener, and a bind failure on any address fails startup as before. Unset, it still binds 127.0.0.1 only, so existing IPv4 clients are unaffected.

This lets DeviceKit also bind to the Xcode CoreDevice tunnel address, which reaches a real device over Wi-Fi from the paired Mac only, with no USB port forwarding.

Verified:

  • Simulator, unset: 127.0.0.1 serves, [::1] refused, /shutdown exits.
  • Simulator, "127.0.0.1, ::1": device.info on both; /shutdown via [::1] stops both listeners.
  • iPad Air (iPadOS 26.7), USB unplugged, "127.0.0.1,": device.info and device.screenshot over the tunnel.

Walkthrough

XCTestServer now parses DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST as a comma-separated list of IPv4 or IPv6 host literals and creates one listener per host. It configures routes on each listener and stops all listeners through the shutdown route. README documents the host-list format and how to reach a paired device through its Xcode tunnel IPv6 address.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36ee2

A duplicate listen address can leave server startup hanging. Cancel the other listeners when one fails before merging.

09bbb22 should address those potential issues, although I was not able to reproduce the theoretical failure case.

…EN_HOST

The JSON-RPC server built its address with .inet(ip4:), so any IPv6
DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST failed at startup with inet_pton AF_INET and the
runner exited before the server started. It also bound a single
address, so binding anywhere else meant giving up 127.0.0.1.

DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST now takes a comma-separated list of IPv4/IPv6
literals and starts one listener per address with the same routes,
using .inet6(ip6:) for IPv6. /shutdown stops every listener, and a bind
failure on any address fails startup as before. Unset, it still binds
127.0.0.1 only, so existing IPv4 clients are unaffected.

This lets DeviceKit also bind to the Xcode CoreDevice tunnel address,
which reaches a real device over Wi-Fi from the paired Mac only, with
no USB port forwarding.

Verified:
- Simulator, unset: 127.0.0.1 serves, [::1] refused, /shutdown exits.
- Simulator, "127.0.0.1, ::1": device.info on both; /shutdown via [::1]
  stops both listeners.
- iPad Air (iPadOS 26.7), USB unplugged, "127.0.0.1,<tunnel>":
  device.info and device.screenshot over the tunnel.
Consume the listener task group with next() and cancelAll() on the first
error so a failed bind cannot leave other listeners running and hang
startup. Drop exact duplicate DEVICEKIT_LISTEN_HOST entries, and document
makeServer and configureRoutes.
