Home Diagnostics is an package which contains a few apps that are used by Foxconn or Apple. Among apps (listed below), it also installs a crash dumper, which automatically launches when an iDevice is connected and dumps the logs to the computer, and an additional panel for Xcode Organizer. It also installs a handful of useful command line utilities to /usr/local/bin. These applications aren't installed in /Applications like normal (except AirSwitch); They are instead installed to /AppleInternal/Applications.

Applications

It usually contains the following apps: PurpleRestore, PurpleSNIFF, PurpleFAT, SkankPhone, SkankTunes/FakeTunes, ScreenShotr, DCSD, PurpleBuildSanitizer, iOS Menu, iPhone Menu, PurpleConsole, PowerWarriorX, PurplePod , iRemoteX and CarDisplaySim.

More recent builds of Home Diagnostics may include AirSwitch, a tool to install OTA updates from internal servers using a Kanzi Cable, and PurpleRabbit, which looks like a PurpleRestore replacement, although it still uses it.

Starting in build 18B86, two new apps named AtlasUI and AtlasRecordsUI are included.

Applications by Build

(Work in progress) Variations in version number formatting are due to the various ways these programs report their version. Generally a number without a decimal is the build number and a number with a decimal is the "product version number".
