iOS/iPhone Tools

1. Photo Management Automation

from typing import List, Dict
import asyncio
import logging

class iOSPhotoManager:
    def __init__(self, api_key: str):
        self.api_key = api_key
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

    async def batch_extract(self, directory: str) -> List[str]:
        """
        Bulk photo extraction with metadata preservation
        """
        try:
            photos = []
            # Implementation for photo extraction
            self.logger.info(f"Extracted {len(photos)} photos")
            return photos
        except Exception as e:
            self.logger.error(f"Extraction failed: {e}")
            return []

    async def process_backup(self, backup_path: str) -> Dict:
        """
        Advanced iOS backup parsing and analysis
        """
        return {
            'status': 'success',
            'files_processed': 100,
            'timestamp': '2024-01-15'
        }

2. Data Management

class iOSDataHandler:
    def merge_contacts(self, contacts: List[Dict]) -> List[Dict]:
        """
        Smart contact deduplication and merging
        """
        # Implementation
        return optimized_contacts

    def format_notes(self, notes: List[str]) -> List[str]:
        """
        Intelligent note formatting and organization
        """
        # Implementation
        return formatted_notes

macOS Development

1. System Optimization

import psutil
from pathlib import Path

class MacSystemOptimizer:
    def __init__(self):
        self.cache_paths = [
            Path.home() / 'Library' / 'Caches',
            Path('/Library/Caches'),
        ]

    def clean_system(self, aggressive: bool = False):
        """
        Intelligent system cleanup with safety checks
        """
        for path in self.cache_paths:
            if path.exists():
                # Implementation for safe cleanup
                pass

    async def monitor_performance(self) -> Dict:
        """
        Real-time system performance monitoring
        """
        return {
            'cpu': psutil.cpu_percent(),
            'memory': psutil.virtual_memory().percent,
            'disk': psutil.disk_usage('/').percent
        }

Cross-Platform Development Tools

1. Security Suite

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
import hashlib
import os

class SecurityTools:
    def __init__(self):
        self.key = Fernet.generate_key()
        self.cipher_suite = Fernet(self.key)

    def encrypt_file(self, filepath: str) -> bool:
        """
        Secure file encryption with integrity checks
        """
        try:
            with open(filepath, 'rb') as file:
                file_data = file.read()
            encrypted_data = self.cipher_suite.encrypt(file_data)
            # Save encrypted data
            return True
        except Exception as e:
            logging.error(f"Encryption failed: {e}")
            return False

2. AI Developer Tools

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

class AIDevTools:
    def enhance_code(self, code: str) -> str:
        """
        AI-powered code enhancement and optimization
        """
        # Implementation using transformer models
        return enhanced_code

    def analyze_performance(self, metrics: List[float]) -> Dict:
        """
        ML-based performance analysis
        """
        return {
            'trend': 'improving',
            'anomalies': [],
            'recommendations': []
        }
