Hello everyone!

I'm not sure if this is correct place for such thread, please correct me if I should move this topic.

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to read iPhone's IMEI number programmatically from Mac OS software and then automatically initiate data-wipe (so iPhone will be reset to factory defaults).

So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to read IMEI from custom software installed on Mac OS computer?
2. Is it possible to initiate reset to factory default from custom software running on Mac OS? Or only iTunes and FInd My iPhone apps can initiate data wipe?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to remove personal info from iPhone and read IMEI programmatically using Mac OS computer? Besides iTunes or iPhone itself. It's needed for selling used iPhones, so all data can be deleted and IMEI of sold iPhone can be checked before selling it to new owner.
