Libimobiledevice: idevicesyslog not working with wifi device

Created on 12 Dec 2018 · 6Comments · Source: libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice

On macos mojave, lib installed with brew install --HEAD libimobiledevice, idevice_id correctly detects the device connected by wifi ('xcode devices' window also shows it as connected), but idevicesyslog is not finding the device. Any clue ?

> idevice_id --list

This is because usbmuxd lists the device but libimobildevice doesn't understand yet that it is a wifi device. I am working on proper support for it. Just be a little more patient.

@nikias That would be amazing.
I just installed it for this sole purpose, to get info over wifi.

I saw on the website the status WIP and thought the project wasn't updated, so your comment is really cheering up.

@nikias - any idea when this might be available? thank you!

It would remove a lot of wires on my table when I have several devices to be automated with my Macbook 13'

Hi all! Now I've confirmed idevicesyslog is working with a device enabled "connect to network" on Xcode. I guess this commit fixed this issue. Thank you so much for your great work, @nikias!
