  • imobiledevice-net

    Discontinued .NET (C#, VB.NET,...) bindings for libimobiledevice

    You can find windows builds in this fork https://github.com/libimobiledevice-win32/imobiledevice-net, but make sure you have iTunes 12.x version installed.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • ios-webkit-debug-proxy

    A DevTools proxy (Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol) for iOS devices (Safari Remote Web Inspector).

  • unison

    Unison file synchronizer (by bcpierce00)

  • usbmuxd2

    A socket daemon written in C++ to multiplex connections from and to iOS devices over USB and WIFI

    While trying to get parts of this to compile, I found https://github.com/tihmstar/usbmuxd2 which you can replace usbmuxd with and get wifi sync support.

  • libimobiledevice.org

    Official Website of libimobiledevice

    Could you gather some info from the devtools and report this as a bug to the website repo?

  • libimobiledevice

    A cross-platform protocol library to communicate with iOS devices

    For restoring a backup to a Linux filesystem, libimobiledevice requires the iOS device to be present, so you will probably want ideviceunback instead, which doesn't have this issue:

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ideviceunback

    Decodes iPhone manifest and backup created by idevicebackup2
