Can I track Apple devices and AirTags using Find My through an SSH connection?▼

Yes, you can track Apple devices and AirTags via Find My by establishing an SSH connection to your macOS host. The integration queries the Find My service and returns location data to your virtual machine environment.

Do I need SSH and osascript to automate macOS GUI interactions?▼
