Re: did anyone have their icloud password compromised?

guess I found it, for the other "dummies":

in itunes, connect your iPad , go to Summary, toggle through ECID, Product type , serial number, UDID, just click on the last row just right of the iPad image,

then type the UDID in to UDID fields (all of them ) into __init__.py in directory
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/Plugins/find-my-iDevices.indigoplugin/Contents/Server Plugin/findmyiphone

as well as IOS version # and iPad type

Re: did anyone have their icloud password compromised?

This little script will modify the __init__.py file to change the UDID .. etc parameters .

first stop findMyIdevice plugin

copy this code into an action group script.

check the path to the indigo server files (version number) and
change the UDID productType and osVersion to your setting

click on run.

Karl

Code: Select all
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

#this script will put your information into   " __init__.py"   to findMyIphone work without send emails every 5 minutes...


theNew_deviceUDID="xFc1cAcCcccccckljas;klfjaslf" # put your UDID here
theNew_productType="iPad4,4"                # put your ipdad version here
theNew_osVersion="7.1.2"                    # put your os version here
         
                                      # check the file path to the plugin (ie indigo version)   
filePath='/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/Plugins/find-my-iDevices.indigoplugin/Contents/Server Plugin/findmyiphone'



fileName='__init__.py'
fileName2='xxinit__.py'   # this is the output file, if ok rename to __init__.py in finder     or just name it the same as   fileName to overwrite in place


f =open(filePath+'/'+fileName,"r")
theLines =[]
for lines in f:
   theLines.append(lines)
f.close


# now write out and replace the changed strings
f =open(filePath+'/'+fileName2,"w")
nLines = len(theLines)
for nLine in range(nLines):
   nextLine=theLines[nLine]
   if nextLine.find("deviceUDID")>-1:
      theParts= nextLine.split('":"')
      nextLine =theParts[0]+'":"'+theNew_deviceUDID+'",\n'
   if nextLine.find("productType")>-1:
      theParts= nextLine.split('":"')
      nextLine =theParts[0]+'":"'+theNew_productType+'",\n'
   if nextLine.find("osVersion")>-1:
      theParts= nextLine.split('":"')
      nextLine =theParts[0]+'":"'+theNew_osVersion+'",\n'

   f.write(nextLine)
f.close

I was previously determining the home/away status of multiple family members. How do you enter the information for multiple iPhones?

This is not the info if the iPhone to be tracked but a device that is requesting the info

But since each iPhone (in my case) has a separate iCloud account wouldn't you need both to match else you'll be logging into an account to an iCloud account with an iPhone that may not match. Maybe I am missing something.

Don't know how that would work. The deep Apple experts might want to chime in here. May be you just try it out. See it it works. You give the target id in the device config. The init file does show any info of the target device as I see it.

Glad I found this topic. Had been wondering for a couple of days what the hack was going on with all those e-mails.

Same here. Thanks for posting and discussing. Had the same experience, but assumed it was an attempted hack.

I'm thankful that folks have identified this method to prevent the emails. I haven't seen anything along this line in the Github discussions, so it's surprising, but it makes perfect sense.

Thanks,

Well... the method doesn't work for me. We're still getting the mails, but at least we know who's sending them.

Re: did anyone have their icloud password compromised?

do you have multiple apple accounts?

What works:
use an ipad account that uses the same apple account as the iPhone and us the credentials of the ipad.

make sure you enter the data correctly end and restart FMID

Re: did anyone have their icloud password compromised?

I'm also getting the emails again. I'm using an iPad 2,2 that is listed as a trusted device on the account that FMi is checking.

If I change the version number to 8.0.0 or 8.0.2 FMi shows that it logs on, but can't get the device information.

When I change the version to 7.2.0 or below - Apple sends the device IDs and location data, then pops out an email to me.

I have 2 step authentication on my devices - maybe that has something to do with it ?

Re: did anyone have their icloud password compromised?

@Karl: I used the script that you made and filled it with data from my iPad3,3.
Two AppleID's are being used. One ID for my iPhone and another ID for my wife's iPhone.
The iPad uses my AppleID, but the iPad is not tracked with FMi. Only the iPhones are and FMi has no troubles finding their locations.
