Hmm, yeah that seems wrong. I don't get reboots on devices I use frequently; I think it is only supposed to kick in when the device is not in use for a long time (it is meant to stop police who have a locked device they will try to brute force into).





Are you on latest iOS? Are you stilllocking / unlocking the phone once in 3 days at least?

7 days timeout on was introduced in iOS 18, but then decreased to 3 days. I dont use this device physically - it's just a phone that always connected to power and sit on top of mac mini for debugging and running some ios exclusive apps.

And I honestly dont do anything remotely interested to the police to worry about it. Yet it all just worked and now it doesnt.


I would try running an app from Xcode (which instructs it to never lock). While the app is in the foreground I don't think it should lock…

My physical ios device test harness has no pin numbers/touch id activated for any of the connected phones. I noticed early on in testing that it would require physical access to reinput the pin code even when the device was already unlocked when I would restart an XCUI test.

If you're able to have fully unlocked devices at your test setup I'd suggest giving that a shot to see if it fixes your issue around device restart.
