Description fabio.comolli 2024-06-27 09:30:59 UTC

The current package is basically useless as it cannot backup any iPhones/iPads with a software newer than 14.

The same problem exists in Linux - I opened a package request in the ChaoticAUR Archlinux repository: https://github.com/chaotic-aur/packages/issues/3155 and the package they provided worked perfectly.

On Linux the git release is needed to be able to run succesful backups, not only for libimobiledevice but also for its dependencies (libplist and libusbmuxd) and possibly  usbmuxd.

This is an example: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/1546

Newer releases of comms/libusbmuxd and devel/libplist have been made, but are not compatible with the rest of the libimobiledevice stack. I have been monitoring the situation for a while and even have a new port for libimobiledevice-glue ready, but was sort of waiting for the rest of it to catch up. Not sure what is going on upstream.

I'm on iOS/iPadOS 17.5.1 myself, so I appreciate your frustration and will try to update the ports within a week.

Thank you very much. I guess you don't need my help for testing your new packages but if you need me just let me know.

Thanks a lot also from me; I also watch this port and the upstream software for quite some time and would love to use it with an up to date iOS. :)
