DJIKMZInjector is a lightweight desktop tool to manage DJI waypoint missions (.kmz) on DJI RC controllers and mobile devices using ADB, MTP, and native iOS integration.
The tool focuses on reliability, transparency, and predictable behavior across macOS and Windows.
You can find the latest compiled release here: DJI-KMZ-Injector Release
- Replace DJI waypoint missions (.kmz) by UUID
- Native iOS mission creation support on macOS
- Automatic device detection and connection
- Automatic preview image handling
- Safe DJI-compatible mission replacement
- Works on macOS and Windows
- No modification of mission content
- Clean UI without background services
The new native iOS backend allows direct mission management on iPhone and iPad devices.
Features:
- Direct mission creation without replacing existing missions (close DJI FLY first)
- Automatic connection on application startup
- Native Apple device communication
- Full mission database access
- Automatic mission synchronization
- No jailbreak or developer mode required
Advantages:
- Create completely new missions directly from macOS
- Read DJI mission metadata and previews
- Faster and more reliable than manual file workflows
MTP is now the default backend for Android devices and DJI RC controllers.
Advantages:
- No developer mode required
- Standard USB file transfer
- Automatic device detection
- Works on macOS and Windows
Typical supported devices:
- DJI RC 2
- Android phones and tablets
- DJI controllers using Android-based systems
Limitations:
- Slower than ADB
- File visibility delays on some macOS systems
ADB remains available as an advanced backend for Android devices.
ADB is useful for:
- Power users
- Large mission transfers
- Fast repeated testing workflows
Requirements:
- Android devices
- USB debugging enabled
DJIKMZInjector automatically detects:
- iOS devices
- Android devices
- DJI RC controllers
The correct backend is selected automatically during startup whenever possible.
This allows a plug-and-play workflow without manual backend configuration.
Reliable MTP mission handling on macOS required:
- Handling delayed file visibility
- Working around filesystem caching
- Managing system processes that lock USB access
- Implementing retry and timeout logic
- Strict synchronization and verification
The macOS MTP integration required extensive development and testing to reach a stable and user-friendly result.
macOS does not properly release USB MTP access when media-related apps such as Preview, Photos or Image Capture have accessed the device.
This often causes MTP tools to fail until the Mac is rebooted.
DJIKMZInjector automatically detects and terminates known macOS processes that block USB MTP access, allowing a reliable connection without rebooting.
Preview images are treated as a local cache.
Behavior:
- Existing previews are reused whenever possible
- Missing previews are downloaded automatically
- After mission changes or refresh operations, previews are synchronized again
This ensures previews always match the actual missions stored on the device.
Watch the video:
- Connect the iPhone or iPad via USB
- Launch DJIKMZInjector
- Device connects automatically
- Create or import missions directly
- Synchronize with DJI Fly
- Connect the device via USB
- Launch DJIKMZInjector
- Backend is selected automatically
- Refresh the mission list
- Select or replace missions
- Preview updates automatically
- iOS, ADB, and MTP are implemented as independent backends
- Automatic backend detection on startup
- Preview files are disposable cache data
- Mission databases are synchronized dynamically
- UI operations remain responsive during device access
- macOS MTP behavior is treated as eventually consistent
- Ensure the device is unlocked
- Reconnect the USB cable
- Press Refresh
- Restart the application if necessary
On macOS, Apple media applications may lock the USB MTP connection.
DJIKMZInjector automatically handles this by releasing blocking processes without requiring a reboot or cable reconnect.
- Press Refresh
- Preview cache will rebuild automatically
- Verify the KMZ file is valid
- Ensure the UUID exists on the device
- Try another backend if available
After DJI RC firmware updates, reboot the controller before using MTP or ADB.
DJIKMZInjector is fully compatible with missions created using map-creator.
